Absolutely

I would send them to a good gunsmith and have them timed and tuned. My guess is that the hammer cam is probably also damaged at this point.

So sorry for your loss. I lost my father almost 10 years ago and still miss talking with him. Condolences to you and your family.

I’m ok with people reselling. Many times I’ve pulled up the classifieds and seen where I missed something I would have liked to have purchased and most of the time I would have been willing to pay more for it.

I’m very interested in seeing a copy of this when it’s done. After shooting this game for over 20 years I rarely see a sweep I haven’t seen before but I’m sure there are a couple out there.

Goody, the firing pin is the part of the hammer that breaks. The odd thing is that just about everyone that carries SKB parts have left hammers in stock, but nobody has right hammers.

Left side hammers growing on trees. Right side hammers harder to find than primers.

We have 2 reproductions in our household. I have a pedersoli and wife has an AWA. Any ramp feed gun, be it rifle or handgun is much more susceptible to stovepipe jams than a straight feed system like the 73. They are all finicky on the shape bullets they prefer. Not saying it’s a bad thing, but they definitely are pickier on what they will or will not digest.

The shooter that had them for sale is Rootin Tootin. You might send him a private message

The lifter on the small frame is more like the one on an 1873 Winchester going straight up instead of a ramp style

Interesting video. Too bad that the mid frame gun didn’t have the same lifter style as the small frame.

Pinky and I just got back home. Had a short visit with the grand babies on the way home from the match. Once again the Wolverine Rangers put on a class A match even with all the odds against them to get it done during covid 19. Congratulations to all the category winners and to overall winner Three Gun Cole. Thanks to all the rangers involved in putting on the match. Sinola Kid and family put their heart and sweat into making it a great time. Three Gun Cole had some great stages set for the shooters and we thoroughly enjoyed them. You can bet we will make the 9 hour drive to enjoy the fun again next year

I’m your Huckleberry. Send me your first prototype and I’ll run a couple thousand rounds for ya
