Mad Dog Jack, SASS #77862 Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 I remember these as nice pistols. How does it not fit? Can a gunsmith fit it to your gun,or is it to much work to fit it? AWA, as you probably know, is long gone and parts are scarce. As a pretty close to a Colt SAA would a hammer from Colt work?

towboater Posted February 22, 2019 Author Share Posted February 22, 2019 I bought an Uberti hammer and the Hole was too small for the pin. I will check around and see if a colt hammer will work Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abilene, SASS # 27489 Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 If the hammer seems like it would fit otherwise, perhaps opening up the hole in the hammer would be an option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
towboater Posted February 22, 2019 Author Share Posted February 22, 2019 I will check that option out. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goody, SASS #26190 Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 The Longhorn was made by ASM and sold through AWA. VTI lists a couple of options for a replacement hammer. One being that Pietta hammers will work. Might check out that option. By the way, what happened to the original hammer? If one of the notches broke off there are smiths who can weld that up and re-cut the hammer. http://www.vtigunparts.com/store/shopdisplayproducts.asp?id=87&cat=ASM+1873+Single+Action Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

towboater Posted February 23, 2019 Author Share Posted February 23, 2019 Thanks Goody. I bought it with 2 notches broke off. It does cock and fire, I was just hoping to be able to repair it properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cholla Bob Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 I have the awa peacekeepers and replaced the hammers with lowered ones. I got the pietta hammers from EMF. They are NOT a drop in fit, can it be done yes, if you are not comfortable with working on guns I would have a gunsmith do it for you. The hand hole had to be enlarged slightly then the cam had to be adjusted for proper timing(not for the meek). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
