Tonight I put the finishing touches on what has been, for me, a problem child Vaquero... a Bisley hammer!
I'd say it took a good 2 hours, maybe more, to get that sucker fitted. Maybe 1/2 hour or so with a Dremel and a cutoff wheel, then minimum 1 1/2 hours with various files and finally wet/dry sandpaper.
Next time I feel like tearing her down again, I think I'll take a little metal off the two faces on the hammer so it'll seat a little deeper.
