Gentlemen, I have ordered and received the original build sheet for a 1924 Boss soon to be in my arsenal. There are a number of interesting features. I have few questions so that I might better be able to understand the original spec (quotes are from the sheet):

1. "Shooting Right 160; Shooting Left 200" -- What size British shot would this have been so I can determine the original constriction?

2. "Drop Hand Foreend" No idea here.

3. "Pulls 4 lbs. bare, extra springs to weigh 2 1/2, 3, 3 1/2 lbs. per his letter" He must have been persnickety about his trigger pulls, as this seems to indicate he wanted extra springs to vary the trigger weight. Presumably these would be interchangeable...with some effort?

Any thoughts would be appreciated. The gun is incoming so it could be a few months before I have pictures to post.
