These are addictive guns. I can resist them. I like the idea of extras because I may send a few off for engraving.
Note the new hammer. This hammer swap took me a while. It was my first time. I had difficult getting the trigger pin out and didn't want to mar the frame. I figured it out. My Lyman took kit came in handy as I used four different punches and two different screw drivers.
My first pair of 5.5" new vaqueros came with these hammers, which is why I bought them, and I plan to switch all of mine over for identical feel. I have five at the moment—two 7.5" to do. I'll make someone happy when I die as they will all be perfect.
I thought it best to get it completed as I found the Blackhawk hammer in a plastic bag in my puppies mouth. What'cha got there? Whoa your horses! Give me that!
I ordered two of these hammers and one is still missing. I have two more to do as a friend sold me a 7.5" new vaquero for $725 with shipping. So I have an old and a new vaquero in 7.5". Cool. I can shoot heavy loads if I go to bear country.
So since I'm missing a hammer I just ordered two more SBH hammers off Brownelll's to finish those off and still hope the other hammer turns up as it will go on a 3.5" barrel birdshead someday.
The price for the hammers went up. They arenow $33 each. I don't recall what I paid for the last ones. 20 something. They are in stock at Brownells if you are interested.
I'll post a video of the next hammer swap I do. I expect I can now do the swap in 10-15 minutes.
