Mike it's not 'if' but 'why is it high'.
I wouldn't want to but I guess I could live with the high lever.
It's a beautiful gun but there appears to be issues with the stock as well, (behind the trigger guard).
Who did the restoration on it ?

R.D. I've got almost the same gun in a twelve wish mine was as nice as yours. I'm not crazy about the low hammers, harder to let down than my others.
When and who did the restoration on it ?
