It must have been sent back to Meriden for that. Too early to have been made with it.

Ya Dean,You are correct.The tapered bolt plate came about in 1874/1875.Also the lifter extension was eliminated at the same time as the bolt plate change.What is interesting about this gun is the fact that the bolt plate was retrofitted but not the lifter extension.
