All of my 16 ga. 0-frames will open with the right hammer fully cocked.

My big girl opens, 3 frame 10.

My grade 2, 1 frame, will cock when open and can be opened when cocked. I agree that the fishtail is classy and wish I could have them on all my guns- hammer or hammerless.

Brought back to the top for the new people.

My 12ga 1 1/2" fishtail will open with the hammer cocked. My 10ga 3 frame streight lever will not open with the hammer cocked.

Yep, it's threads like this one that keep an LC Smith guy comin back here to check in with friends. (misguided as they may be!) seems we never have discussions about Fishtail Top Levers over in my neighborhood! Learn something new every day, and never say never!
Thanks Bruce!

Are they all fishtail top lever guns?

I have heard that L C Smith had to glue all the top leavers on their guns because they kept falling off.

Thanks John, and my best to LCSCA leaders and my friends Frank Finch and Jim Stubendienk. Many PGCA members are also LCSCA members with both makes of fine American doubles.
