Someone just failed to mark the yoke cut. It happens. Last edited: Jan 2, 2025

Click to expand... It doesn't have one; it is a three screw. The 4th screw went away around 1961. The spring rests against the inside of the frame. Last edited: Jan 2, 2025

Is the other side relieved (football cutout) or unrelieved? If you were to put a coat of wax on them I think you'd be amazed how they'd pop Last edited: Jan 2, 2025
