Quick question Dean, that lack of a radius is not just limited to back actions right? It would also include early front actions as well. Seems like I read in TPS that the back action receiver was stronger(and cheaper to make) than the front actions of the same time period. The reason given was they had to cut out the sides of the receiver for front action locks. Something they obviously didn't have to do for the back action locks.
As far as shooting back actions...I have two back action guns that I am looking forward to shooting(with lighter loads) after they are restored, #46 a 10 gauge and #1823 a 12 gauge.
It may be an acquired taste, but the back action Parkers just look good to me.
