8 Guage 1888 Hammer Gun

[Bill Murphy]

Austin Hogan is one who knows a bit about the transition from round lug to check hook. Maybe he could comment about whether a factory conversion from one to another is a possibility. A picture of the lug on the gun in question would help a lot. A picture from the side and from the bottom would be sufficient.

The check hook lifters are made on a longer frame, almost interchangeable with the top action frame.

Best Austin

Thanks Austin. It looks like we're back to needing pictures to decide what we have here. Apparently, a conversion to "check hook" is not likely since they were two different frames.
