Thanks Dick. Yes, I believe I remember that rifle number 86 might've been the first 1868 with an 1868 breechblock that you saw while first visiting with Graham Burnside. As a Young man too wasn't it?

They've all got bores like this.
This is on rifle number 6.

Three of the first 150 1868's, which of course all have 1868 dated breechblocks.
Serial numbers 6, 86 and 127.

Yep, I figured it had a block in it for 50-70 and told him so. That's when he measured them and saw that I was right.
