12.218.71.2Rev Doc Drew
Are you telling me that the frame is supposed to look that way?
Why is metal removed all the way down to the cocking rod?
I am trying to learn. Please help.

Thanks for the heads up. I went and did a little research and there on pages 395 and 396 of the Houchins book was the answer!
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. - Re: MAULED Frame

12.45.208.246FYI The LOP on my 3E is 14 1/2". It has the 2 quail configuration ( one flying) without the oval. It has the regular frame. Personally I love these pre 1913 LCS's. - Re: MAULED Frame

68.39.186.119John very nice. It's always nice to see the "old ones".
One of the first things I would do is either you or a gunsmith look at the spring in the joint check to make sure that it is not starting to deteriorate from rust, etc. If this small spring breaks you will have a problem trying to take the barrels from the receiver. - Re: MAULED Frame
