Picked this up sometime last year at a local gunshop thinking it would a nice addition to my BP revolvers. Even though I had one years ago for my 1860 Colt repro, I didn't realize (or had forgotten) that there are two different versions of shoulder stocks and the one I have I believe is for the 1851...or maybe not.
I have a couple of questions about the stock.
#1. The frame width on the 60 Armies & 51 Navies are approx 7/8" wide, the frame on the stock is 1" wide, is that about right? I know that you have to replace the hammer screw with a longer one with a nut (on the 51 Navy) but this seems a little too wide to me. There's about 1/8" of play between the frame of the revolver and stockwork.
#2 What is the purpose of this spring? Doesn't look like it serves any purpose.
I would appreciate any input from someone who has one.
