The transition period between lifter action to top action was in the mid 20,000s.
The most common scenario encountered is the check-hook lifter action which is a lifter with the long water table and check hook of the top action guns. I would say that not a ton of top action guns without rib extensions were made at the later side of the transition. I would think that any top action guns without rib extensions after 30,000 serial number would have been specifically ordered that way. I have seen top action guns with no dolls head in the mid 50,000 and even above 100,000. But they were special orders.

Thanks for the clarification Brian. This was a special order request according to the letter so I guess that would mean that it's not the highest serial numbered gun to not have the dolls head.
I did PM Josh as mentioned above but I'm sure he'll just clarify what you already stated. Not a big deal to me, just kind of a neat gun. |

Simply as a point of interest, a very small number of hammerless Parkers were ordered without the doll's head extension by very serious competition shooters, but is was never a standard (or option offered in a catalog) feature.

When did the Trojan drop the rib extension?

If I need to add to the stock length to make it more shootable for me, is there a manufacturer of a pad with the widow's peak inlet? I'm sure if need be I could use a slip on pad but would prefer a screw on option.
