Hello everybody from Barcelona-Catalonia.
Unfortenatelly maybe I began this conversation in the wrong place, sorry everybody for the inconveniences, so now I want to explain my case to all of you in the correct zone. Thanks.
Recently I bought a Husqvarna swedish rifle from 1850. As you will see in pictures is lovely but have just one little problem in the percutor hammer, have a litle broken piece at the end, sims like V. Unfortenatelly I can't find anyone in my country who dares to weld a small piece of metal to make it look like new without the added metal being noticeable. So I was starting to think about loctite metal epoxy for replace the missing part.
The broken part is in the end of the hammer, just in the final neck, just in the place when you firing the hammer picks to the piston.
First I'm triying to find the same hammer for replace it, nothing for the moment. It's not usual like the english tower or the americans from the civil war. Anyway I don't want a shot with this rifle is just for exposition.
By the way as Fleener says -Some hammers have a V notch in the hammer cup up front. Perhaps it is not broken and missing-
And bpd303 says -Someone with a TIG welder should be able to weld it without any excess metal added. I was able to do a good weld on the tang of an original German Jaeger that is still in service. When I enlarge the last picture of the hammer, it does look like a V notch in the front of the cup-.
Now I must assume that the broken part in the neck of the hammer was probably made by the soldier or the shooter of this rifle, never by the manufacturer, because is not a "clean" broken part, just sims like "broken" and missing part, I want to say that, If it were filed in a square shape with right angles, it would look factory-made, and in fact I have not yet ruled out doing so to improve its appearance and not look broken like now..
Any help, opinion or support in this subject will be great.
Thank you very much in any case.
Greetings and best wishes from Barcelona.
