Excellent, I suggest you post those on your site, it's a piece of info I've not seen anywhere else. Especially if you post similar pics of a Batavia gun for comparison. Posting pics of the different cocking rod configurations would be good as well. Yours has the same type as my cousin's, his is the spring loaded one I mentioned. Here's a few more questions.
Does your gun have the three piece or the four piece lock? I can't tell by the pics.
Was there any relationship between the Draw Bolt and the action type? Were they used on the four piece lock as well as on the three piece? Was it only based on grade? Was it present on the higher grade Folsom guns?
It appears that the four piece lock was used in the later Folsom guns. What exactly changed around 1908, as far as the action? Was the cross bolt dropped then but the basic lock design (four piece) remained the same? On the Baker site, the Folsom guns have the same three-pin pattern..
Thanks
Ken
