Trigger work for a 73


Cowboy Junky

Recommended Posts

So the trigger failed on my 73 after a few years. The sear and hammer are worn pretty bad so I ordered a new pair. The hammer I ordered has a sear face like that of broken glass. I called and complained and got two more that are equally poor quality. 

 

Are there any after market hammers? 

 

Are there any smith's that are good with trigger work that have a jig or way to lighten the trigger without fade? Any other tricks or advice? Thanks

I made an adapter for the Powers stoning fixture, Series 1 & 2,  to stone 73's in our shop .  The same adapter holds the hammer as well.   I have used this setup for many, many years.  It can be rotated to any angle and positively stones flat surfaces.

I have made adapters for many of our cowboy guns as well 66's, single actions, etc.  Don't forget to harden the sears afterwards.
