The hammer looks old huh? :grin: And just think it started out as a block of steel. :haha:

Hey Roy .. I would have liked to see the process of making the cock! :thumbsup:

Well it was a process of stock removal. :grin:

I started out by making a template from a sheet of copper of how I thought the hammer should be shaped fo rthis lock. Transfered that to a block of steel and got out the power hacksaw, angle grinder and assorted files and removed everything untill it looked like a hammer. :winking:

:bow: Amazing... :hatsoff:

:rotf: So my buddy took this over to a military relic appraiser today and the appraiser complimented him on having a complete original gun as most seen are missing parts. :rotf:

Guess that says a lot about Roy's work. :hatsoff:

 

[Roy]

Thats too funny :rotf:

Roy, obviously what you thought the hammer should look like and what the original hammer looked like were very similar. At least enough to fool his eye- you crafty dawg. :thumbsup:
