Sorry for the false alarm, don't have that piece.
Mine's a tale that can't be told, my freedom I hold dear.

Good evening all, I'm new to the forum and was wondering if this post is still alive.
Does anybody have access to the schematics posted a while back for the Curtis latch?
I cannot read the dimesions for the Trip Head 61-RE and Trip Stem 64-RE the are blurry, in particula the internal dimension of the trip Head and the notches at end of the Trip Stem.
I have to manufacture those parts.
Any help is gratly appreciated.

Lucio, I posted the drawing and it looks like the internal dimension of the trip head is a #18 drill (.1695). The notches at the end of the Trip Stem are 3/64" and 3/64". For the Trip Head looks to be a pressed fit, although the diameter of the stem is .172, seems like a very tight fit.

#18... I was looking at it from the wrong angle, fractions, decimals, never thought about a drill bit number!!
Yes, the fit will be very tight.
I'll work on it and post the results.
Tanks again David.

Not the talented A.P. Curtis' best invention.

Agree, and now I understand why many of the wood inlay, pop out of place! I am sure I am saying things you all know.

All Hunter Arms ejector guns had one type of roller release through the years, non ejector guns just used the "J" spring that caught on the barrel loop to hold the for-end on. There was a lot of complaints of for-ends being lost because the "J" spring was loose and were lost in the field. Hunter Arms came up with this Curtis for-end release around 1913? to prevent this and it worked but was a lot of money to make if you look at the parts drawing you can see why. After 1919? it was stopped and all non ejector guns except the Field Grade were given the banjo style roller release and later the rectangular one. Some say it was a patent infringement but I believe it was a cost factor.
