If you total up the styles of bolts that could be found in factory built Parker guns, the number would be 6. Lifter straight, lifter angled, top action angled, hammerless angled, hammerless 1905-1910 straight and post 1910 cam operated with stepped cut.
Then add to the mix service bolts, the number can potentially increase to 9.
Top action hammer gun bolts are actually slightly shorter than hammerless bolts, so a different service bolt would be needed when converting a hammer gun to the 1910 style bolting. And, I am sure that Parker very well may have put 1910 wear plates in lifters as well, so that would make another style of bolt.
It is this type of stuff that I want to make sure that my book addresses. So that people understand the variation in parts used in Parkers.
