Action shield

[ernbar]

I have been searching for detailed illustrations showing how to make and install an action shield on the hammer of a BP revolver but came up empty. This metal strip will keep cap fragments and other junk from falling in that slot at the bottom of the hammer channel. A picture showing how the metal strip is secured to the hammer will be great.

You might do a search for "cap jam".

I did. No mention or pictures on installing an action shield. Lots on advise on filling in the notch or filing off the fangs in the hammer.

You should ask a moderator to move this to the Handguns forum. Look for posts by 45D, I believe he may have posted a photo of one. Found one.
