Curtis didn't quite resolve the inadequate wood at the head-of-the-stock issue Surely you don't think that is the only problematic issue with this agglomeration of parts. Or perhaps you do. It's pretty easy to see why this pile of junk never went into production. Voting for anti-gun Democrats is dumber than giving treats to a dog that shits on a Persian Rug

Located in Toledo, about 30 miles from Defiance and Bowling Green, both haunts of the Lefevers. The arching sear, like the Curtiss patent , pivots on the screw visible on the side near the top of the action which might look like a firing pin retainer screw.
