And I got to see again his great A1-S and super B grade, all of which are kept in quite a vault.

Bolt Plate
My 159157 which was at the annual meeting a few years age has the 'pinless' bolt plate.
My take is this; Was the wear plate really for wear, or to make barrel /frame fitting easier? I have a 5 digit plateless VH that I have put 10 - 20000 rounds through with no wear, and a lifter and a top action with half as many with no wear. That would have been a lot of game shots, even before 1900. Best, Austin |

Austin, I suspect both. The popular notion is that it is for wear but we have both seen pre replaceable bolt plate guns with no discernable wear to the lock engagement bite. I think if they are kept greased and a person doesn't consistantly allow the lever to snap back, the engagement will last forever.

Nice post Bruce. Thanks so much for taking the effort. The twist Trojan is incredible. Never knew any were made.
The vault is like that of two friends in Fairbanks. One is made of an old bank vault door, the other I think a Liberty door and frame. Both are built into the high wall of a walk in basement. One contains an impressive collection of class 3 stuff, including some kind of 6' long British? anti tank weapon. |
