Identification
Notes on the top jaw are still at the bench
Identification notes are written one part at a time, from pieces Butch has had in hand — so this section fills in as he works through the vocabulary rather than all at once. If you are trying to identify a top jaw you already own, he answers those directly at butch@butchsantiquegunparts.com.
