Shiloh Sharps 1874 tumbler
In a previous thread I think I was informed that the 1874 tumbler fits 1863 locks. And 1874 tumblers have three "cocking notches," one of which allows an 1874 hammer to rest about .125 inch above the firing pin. Have I described the activity of the 1874's tumbler accurately? If I have not, please correct my error(s).

The 74 and 63 are completely different from one another.
