Thanks Joe,

My 15707 gun appears to be the same action as yours. I think they were both Scott parts kits and were made when Georg was running the show. Your 15251 gun is slightly earlier than mine, but not by much. My 441 gun is later, has similar yet different locks (one less pin on the bridle) and is of lower grade. 15707 does have a metal butt plate with spur, but I haven't removed it yet to check for a serial number. Mfg. approx 1872, according to Raimey. My gun also has the circled "PB" on the flats.

Joe, what gauge is your gun? I'm sure you told me when we talked about'em a while back, but I've forgotten. Boy, that barrel pattern intrigues me. It's apparently marked "stub", but it sure looks Laminated to me. But, it is fairly light.

Regards
Ken

I prefer wood to plastic, leather to nylon, waxed cotton to Gore-Tex, and split bamboo to graphite.
