Here are three actions. The left is a 1 frame in the 50K range 2 trigger gun. The middle is a 2 frame 213k range 2 trigger gun. The right is a 2 frame 208K Miller single trigger gun. My theory is the notches changed from the left example to the right examples as part of the Parker evolution. Both of the fully notched actions are above 200K and also have the same top lever spring as the repro in the previous picture.
I think Dean's observation that the live bird gun had very straight V cuts is interesting. Perhaps this is how they were first cut and since there was no safety installed then these V cuts were not finished by the fitter?
