W.Richards 8 Ga. Hammer
 

I need a hammer for my W. Richards 8 Ga. double and I need the left hammer.Thanks Thomas

thomasyou aint asking for much...i think i seen a oldmessage on the forem that told how to make a new one.the fellow who did this was talented..wish i could remember his name maybe he will pitch in...tell us about the 8 ga richards please... charlie

Charlie: I picked it up this past week end at a gun show.It has the left hammer missing and has a bad spot in the right barrel.the wood has no cracks and everything is complete and has 32 inch barrels which I don't know are correct or if they have been cut.Thanks Thomas

Charlie: I was wondering if maybe the 10 or 12 ga. Hammers would be the same.I see quite a few of those around for sale. Thanks Thomas

Thomas:
You might contact Dick Chubb at bchubb@comcast.net

He has a bunch of hammers... cast repros and original. You may luck out.

Best, Kensal

Yeah, Dick has hammers running out his ears. I've seen some of the inventory and it's impressive. I've tried him a couple times and not had any luck but there's enough there that somebody is bound to score.

The guy that was making the hammers awhile back dropped out of sight. Towards the end a couple guys had trouble getting guns back from him. At least the guy I'm thinking of anyway, I can't remember the name but it was a very negative situation.
