WTC: Cap and ball hammers


Shifty Jack, SASS #65353

Recommended Posts

I have seen in a few articles pictures of Colt style cap and ball pistols where the hammer Spurs have bent back to an angle closer to a SAA. Is there any clarification or guidelines on if this is match legal that I'm just missing?

All parts may be smoothed, re-profiled, polished, de-burred, or replaced provided they are not prohibited in these Covenants.

Hammers

-Hammers may be replaced or exchanged with hammers designed for the same frame size (e.g., small frame revolver hammers may not be installed on large frame revolvers or vice versa).

-Internal parts of the hammer may be changed (e.g., to allow for a half-cock notch on a revolver).

-Ruger Super-Blackhawk/Montado style revolver hammers (i.e., lowered and widened hammers) are acceptable on both adjustable and fixed sight model revolvers.

-Hammer stops may be added.

-The hammer travel distance on any revolver may be adjusted.

-Rear sight notches cut into the revolver hammer may be widened.

-Hammer spur grooves may be recut.

 

They aren't prohibited anywhere that I'm aware of.
