I too did it this way,the Roger Rapid way. If you look at the ends ot the original springs they have a sharp tapper at the end, this allowing the hammer to drop close to the firing pin, no need for brass rings. Be sure to get the scratches out.
I receive Emails from this dealer, OUTDOORLIMITED.COM they say they have Fed. SP primers $79.99 a 1000, other primers too.
I have not dealt with them as I need no primers now.
Just thought I would put it out there if someone is looking.

I like my JM Marlins, my match gun is a Cowboy Comp. 357 tuned up, love it, others for long range and hunting. I bought a Remlin in 45, 1 of 1500 pretty gun. it works OK, I don't use it that much, it has a REP on the other side of the barrel about in the same place as the JM is on the barrel.
Sorry Jim,
I thought I'd remembered on the SASS site a year or so ago you were retiring to do the things you like to do and spend more time with family and friend.
