I have an action and butt stock only for a side lever hammer gun. I have been looking at a reprint of an early P. Webley catalog and wonder if I have half and express rifle here (rather than half a shotgun). Is there a clear way to tell from the wood?
 
thank you

No hammer safety. It was the the pistol grip on the stock that made me wonder, and the provision for a sling swivel (I think, it had been filled with a silver disc). I posted the question in Antiques as well, and someone there sugggested looking carefull at the breach face. Sure enough, there is a slight impression in the steel and it fits a 12 guage shell head. Must have been a shot gun dispite the stock.

Thank you.
