I bought a Remington hammer gun that had pretty rusted on hammers. I somehow - can't remember how though - figured out a way to support the hammer and tap the shaft out using a leather hammer and a hardwood dowel so as not to mar anything. I should have left one of them alone as it's been loose ever since and the screw backs out as you shoot clays with it and I've not come up with a way to remedy this issue.

after a soak- i set the stripped lock face up on a vice with the jaws set just far enough apart for the tumbler to fit between them- make sure the jaws are close so you don't warp the lock
and put a rag in the vice under the tumbler to catch it with a punch big to not fit into the threads so they don't get damaged and give it a few taps

I think that's what I did also Rick. I knew it was something like that; just couldn't remember what. I know it worked v slick and didn't damage anything.

Yeah, a stuck hammer requires full disassembly of the lock so that the tumbler can be driven out of the hammer. Resist the urge to pry on it.

It hasn’t been my experience that the lock needs to be completely disassembled. That may be inviting disaster in that springs can be easily broken if compressed improperly.
I’ve been successful in removing some pretty stuck hammers with my method. .

I’ve been successful in removing some pretty stuck hammers with my method. I was thinking of making a set of brass wedges to use on this. Just need the brass square stock for it. Having experienced a perfectly fine spring breaking upon complete release, not interested in that again. Thanks

i have spring vises from my flintlock days, they are designed to compress and hold V springs
Davis makes a good one http://www.redaviscompany.com/0320.html see how to use one here at just before the 5 minute mark https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=di4VhHeUxgo
