Gunsmith hammer recommendation

[Garth Gustafson]

Any good smiths out there who can find or shape/fabricate a replacement hammer on a hammergun? This is for an H&R 20ga double. Thanks.

[John Campbell]

Is the hammer you need missing entirely, or simply broken? Photos of the existing hammer?

[Garth Gustafson]

It’s broken. Actually it’s an old repair but it broke again and the smith can’t weld it so they’re going to return it. Here’s a picture of the good left side hammer. I need the right side hammer. Thanks for any suggestions.

Dave Fjeline has them or can make them. I was just up there last week and could not tell the difference between original and replacement.

Thanks James, I spoke with Dave and I'll be shipping out the pieces to him to see what he says.

Thanks Jerry, I checked out Numrich, Dixie, and the other parts sellers, even Dyson in the UK for a similar sized matched pair. no luck. I'm sure there is one out there somewhere hiding in a drawer.

I saw those as well. They had a longer throw than what I needed. I ended up finding and buying a matched pair with a throw that was almost spot on from Dyson. I had them shipped to Bachelders and he was pretty confident they would work. But he couldn't get them to fit.:banghead:.
