Can anyone tell me what type of jig Hunter Arms Co., L. C. Smith Gun Co., Marlin Firearms Co., etc., used to assemble the bottom trigger plate on the frame of the L. C. Smith shotgun at the factory? None of the stocks on original unassembled guns I have seen have the "hole" drilled in the inside of the lock mortise which is used for the jig that pushes the top lever over when a stock is reassembled. So how was it done at the factory?
