3 screw or 4 screw?

[hooey]

Howdy,
I'm looking at the Uberti 1860 Colt Army, some of the pistols have 3 screws in the frame, some I have looked at have 4 screws; what's the difference and/or advantage, if any, between the 3 screw and 4 screw pistol?

4 Screw models will also have the recoil shield cut for the addition of a sholder stock attachment where the 3 screw model is not.

There is no real advantage to either unless you plan to also acquire the sholder stock to attach to your revolver from what I have seen there is no price difference either.

Some of the guns are cut for stocks, but don't have the extra screw. I think Colt quit the extra screw after figuring out it wasnt needed for the stock.

I have a Uberti 1860 4 screw. The screw head sticks out and my trigger finger doesnt like it. I removed the screw and just have a hole in the frame. Looking for a proper size filler screw so I can remove both and plug them. I'd be happy to pay extra to not have the 4th screw.
