I've got a friend that wanted to play "gun smith" to his Pietta 1860 Army & really screwed up the hammer sear to the point that it isn't very safe.
He said that he wanted to get a lighter trigger pull & no creep but he was using a FILE instead of a light stone & ofcorse did not check his progress as he went, instead he filed way too much off.
Last night he brought it to me to see if I can do anything with it.
The good thing for him is I do have my spare parts for my 1860 "raw parts" but I do need to do a little stoning to get it timed & smoothed up for him.
Now my quandry.
I have no Kasenit left to reharden the hammer once I get it finished & Brownells, Tack of the Wolf, nor Midway does not have any on hand "back ordered," does any one know of a source that may have some or another alternative to reharden the hammer?
As soon as moma comes back with the Digital camera I'll take a picture of the carnage.
