Yes, Jack. That dilemma somehow seems very familiar.
Regarding my question and your answer, I was just trying to find a mid-20s gun or later with the longer screw in the rear. I restored a 2-frame VH 12 for a friend of mine from that era, but I can't for the life of me remember if it had the longer screw. The owner was present for most of the work, as he wanted to learn, and did some of the work himself with me advising. I'll ask him if he remembers, but I kind of doubt he will either. The majority of the guns I've worked on are earlier, and all of mine are.
Another good data point would be an earlier 00-frame with a longer rear screw. I'm trying to determine if the equal-length rear screw is a "later gun" thing, or a 00-frame thing. Thanks for the info.
Jim
