Tame Bill #30699 Life 105 Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 I finally convinced my gunsmith to profile my ’51 Navy R-M conversion hammers. I really like the appearance and the improvement when shooting. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tame Bill #30699 Life 105 Posted December 14, 2016 Author Share Posted December 14, 2016 Fred Lipowicz, a well known gunsmith here in Kansas City. He created a fixture to guarantee uniformity of the hammer profiles. He has done 4 hammers for me so far and they all look all look perfect! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tame Bill #30699 Life 105 Posted December 14, 2016 Author Share Posted December 14, 2016 Here is a comparison Factory versus Profiled '51 Cap & Ball hammers . The profiled hammer has yet to receive the final polish and serrations. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tennessee Stud 218 Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 Tried to bend my hammer one time.... the Dr. said it was impossible... but he was talkin' somethin' else. Good try. However... gettin' back to the topic... over the past few years, with the loss of my eyesight... I have tried to shoot... and re-load my '51 Navies.... ever mornin'. Got to admit... I only average 'bout 5 days a week. Not always here... and I been feelin' poorly... lately. Well... not sure how that stuff coulda happened with them hammers... TB... please keep us updated. ts Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Titus A. Gnatsass, SASS #71705 170 Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 WOW! That's dang near too purty to take to a cowboy match! Oh, he takes 'em! And puts on a fine display of 'Pistoleroism' as well. TB, looks like Kelly did a bang up job! I've been resisting the urge, but I might just hafta break down and have him do a little scratchin on some of Fannie's and/or my stuff. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BoomStick Jay 48 Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 That is a damn good reprofile. I like that shape. Flows well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
