barrel question

[Brent Francis]

The DH I have is hammerless number 76XXX from 1896 if my memory is correct. There doesnt appear to be any plate soldered or pinned on the barrel lug just a machined slot with a slight angle at the bottom of the slot where the wedge is on my later model parkers. Cant get a good look at the bolt to tell if its square or not without taking things apart but from the top it doesnt look too different from my 230xxx gun.

Bill, Yes I did. Are the different bolts compatable? Any tapered bolt was made at 12 1/2 degrees. But they were hand fitted. So if your happen to change a bolt or a wear plate and the gun closes tight with no play or the top lever doesn't jam or stick than you lucked out.
