Was having issues with my shotgun locking up after firing and realized that the striker on the left side hammer was blunted and presumably getting jambed up somehow. I disassembled and through some redneck engineering I was able to reprofile the striker and get the gun running again.

I figure it's a matter of time before I need another one. Anyone out there have a hammer for a 1905 16ga 0 frame?

If you were able to clean up that one, it likely will continue to serve you just fine.

I likely have a couple 0 frame hammers on hand. But I really would prefer to have your original hammer to be able to match up one to in order to make sure that it will work for you.

I was able to clean it up but I didn't 100% get the profile right to have it centered. Also had to work on it a bit to keep it from rupturing primers. I don't think it's a long term solution.

Are you suggesting that I could send it to you and you might be able to find a match?

Yes, I have a half a dozen or so left hammers in my parts bins labeled as 1/0 frame size. But they look a little different from each other. I would not want to just send you one without knowing it is a good match.

Yeah I appreciate that. I bought one off eBay that didn't fit. My best guess was it was for a one frame as it was slightly larger. Okay I might get this thing stripped down and send it to you?
