Go easy, in case I'm wrong, but if it gives a little as if under spring pressure, it probably comes off, and therefore is a takedown.

Ironman5 Sidelock Joined: May 2006 Posts: 367 S.E. Ohio	I have 3 American Gun Co. 28 gauge hammer guns. My 3 boys shoot a lot of birds each year with them. They are all very light and tiny. 3 1/2 to 4 1/2lbs. depending on barrel length and stock configuration. My question is... were they all made on the midget frame or was there more than one frame size?
