RE INDEXING SCREWS

[Mike McKinney]

Didn't Doug Turnbull discuss this when he took the Parker apart at the Vintagers? I don't recall if he talked about the specific sides, but he did talk about the marks.

I may be way out in left field with this, but, we know which barrel is the right and which is the left. Wouldn't it make sense to identify screws with their location in relation to each barrel? Sears and hammers are labeled that way, why not the screws.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but of the dozen or so that I have taken apart (from the 1890's to the mid 1920 mfg dates) the trigger plate screw with a single line filed into the threaded end has gone into the hole on the right side the the gun. While the gun is upside down and the butt plate is pointing at my belly. Left side of the gun if you are shooting it....

If nobody else can confirm this then I must be going insane...
...probably not far from it, seeing as the Remington model 12 firing pin that I just got from Numrich's is not a drop in piece. I have to file out the notch for one of the pins that holds it in place.........who would have thought ??!! Cripe, it may need more filing before it will work...
