Glad you found your part!

While hunting in OK a few years ago, I fired my Whistler hammer gun at a quail, and when I went to load it noticed the hammer was missing (screw broke). We searched long and hard without luck. On our way home to Missouri, we stopped in KC and I bought a metal detector. We went back after the season (6 hour drive). I walked to the spot where I fired the shot (I'd marked it in photographs). I turned the metal detector on and as I positioned it to the ground, I got the "metal detected" signal. It was the hammer. Brad Batchelder made the screw and my gun is hunting again.

Sometimes, Harold, we are just "livin' right," as my Pop used to say.
