Got a Springfield Model 1895 Trapdoor first, and when I started researching, I read about the rolling blocks so decided I had to have one. I'm a newbie when it comes to these old single shots. Maybe these are well documented and "old news" so why no one ever brings them up. Like I mentioned in post, I've never seen marks like these on any posted picture of rolling blocks. Here are pics of the block, hammer, & receiver tang showing the 4 cut marks.

On the Butt Stock, Butt stock plate, and butt stock sling loop plate, there are notches or slits cut but are 3 angled cuts, followed by two cuts making a "V" and then two vertical inline cuts. A black powder Number 1 action will have them, but the Number 5. The easiest was to identify a Number 5 action without removing and measuring the barrel shank, is to look for the receiver radial relief cuts on either side of front of the breechblock. Rcvr Tang, TG Tang, Barrel, Block, Hammer, forearm stock, forearm stock end cap, rear sight, each of 3 barrel bands and even the ejector.
