thanks guys, yes i did put some oil on the parts i may try and remove. i'm an old outboard motor fixer and i know all too well about siezed stuff?? the part attached to barrel on the hammer model that the forearm latches into is very loose so i'm not going any further with it until i see a guy in Melbourne, FL. a salesman at our new Bass Pro Shops in Palm Bay gave me his card and i think it's in my wallet?? he said if anyone can get parts, this guy can....... i would be very interested in a set of hammers but like you said, they are probably far and few between. i doubt that i will ever fire the older one even if i locate hammers. the ends of the barrels are very thin. i haven't measured them yet but i would guess they are less than .020. the butt plate has a lot of built up rust and i doubt you can bring it back without a hole in the deep spot.
i will keep ya'll posted. Brian, do you think there may be hammers out there??
thanks for the responses!!, bill
