With my 5 frame 10 hammer I can not open the straight top lever with the hammers back even with a big the receiver. I wish I could. De-cocking the hammers on a big gun like that can be a little "hairy".

If I remember right, the silent auction 8 gauge is mid 1890's. The latest one I own now is an NH from 1891

Dean, I believe it would open cocked. I think I checked it, but you know what happens to your "thinker" when you get on in years.

I don't know about you Bill but I tend to lose small parts. A magnetized steel mechanic's parts bowl would work really well but it's too late for the last one I worked on...
