Hi JP. I have one on top of the other, when cocked, they look identical. The thickness is the same too. If you don't get a for sure answer I could pop these guns apart this evening. Bill..

I will not ask you to do that yet I read it somewhere and need it confirmed. May have to search out some parts
Sure appreciate the offer.

take care

Dixie GW lists the same parts #s for most parts, inc. the trigger. They don't list the Manhatton hammer, but must be close.
