“All” numbers match

[B. Dudley]

Typically serial numbered parts are:

Frame, Trigger plate, Triggers, unhooking slide, cocking slide, cocking hook, cocking crank, mainspring plungers, Sears (but not always), Hammers, Hammer stirrups, Top lever, Bolt, Bolt cam, bolt linkage, Barrels (in two locations), frond iron, forend toggle key, forend latch (on both parts), forend tip, Ejector Sears, Ejector hammers, Ejector sear slides, Ejector cocking toggle, The buttstock (stamped and written in wax pencil under plate), the buttplate (written in wax pencil), the forend wood.

I think that’s the list alright. Couple more pics. I’m leaving well enough alone on the forend and butt plate for 85805. It is 122 years young and I don’t want to risk wood splinters on the tight fitting parts on the forend wood. Will add pics until the whole list is illustrated. Cheers Jack
