Still Need 1881 Forager Block. And a Lesson Learned!

Post by daneal »

I'm still searching for a Forager 1881 marked breechblock for an otherwise quite respectable 20 gauge Forager.
As a possible matter of interest, the unaltered rifle block that was installed when I got it functioned nicely with original issue shells. A surprise, since I assumed the milled-away section of the 1881 forager block was necessary for clearance in feeding and ejecting.
That's one more thing I will avoid saying in the world of "always" and "never".
