Thanks. I’m going through the gun “ like a kid with a new toy”. Never had a drop lock to go through so I’m pretty ignorant of them. Thought it was odd to have a slotted hinge pin cover on one side with a drop lock but now I can see why.

It gives access to the slotted( removable) hinge pin screwed in between these two bars milled inside the action. Crazy this was done without CNC.
Just sharing! Yes I’m getting geeked out over this one.
