Don't remember seeing anything like that on others. Pending answer, I am interested. Al Al, I was told that this trapdoor was fit (either originally or during its service) with the experimental Metcalfe cartridge block. This was removed and replaced with the brass plate(i do not know when this took place). Attached are photos. Photo 1 shows the cutout in the stock of a similar rifle for the cartridge block. http://www.downrange.tv/forum/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=5412.0;attach=2601;image Photo 2 shows a rifle with the cartridge block still intact. http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e261/audioruss/100154610-2-s.jpg One More example http://www.trapdoorcollector.com/rockwell.html Hoss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
