Looks like a few posts while I was typing my message, which answers my questions, so thanks for the responses. Sounds like removing the lock and sending it to Tom is the way to go. I've been practicing with this gun for the Southern, and shot an excellent round with it today. I hate not to have it, but would hate to lose a hammer or screw up the gun even more. I have to look longer term, and it's not worth the risk.
So now, any instructions for removing the lock plate? This is my first hammer gun, and I've never taken it apart.
