Hammer Help

[Kevin McCormack]

Try Dixon's Muzzleloading Shop in Kempton, PA. Don't know if they are still in business but they specialized in making all manner of accoutrements and accessories for early American muzzle loading rifles. They also built some beautiful replicas (e.g., Hawkins, Fordney and other legendary makers). I referred a member years ago on this BBS who had a high grade Parker hammer gun that was missing one hammer. Dixon's made one up, engraved and colored it, and it looked perfect on the gun. Try Goodling them to see if they're still in business.

they must be --- they did the Gunmakers fair this year, if you are at all interested in muzzleloading - especially flintlocks - that event (end of July) is a must see at least once. mind blowing artistry

BTW- i have dealt with Peter Dyson a couple times and it has always gone well

Peter comes to Baltimore in March, but you have to contact him early so he can bring what you want.
