gp100 Marks on hammer

[Lvmike]

I was looking over my new gp100, and i noticed marks on the sides of the hammer. It looks like the hammer is rubbing the receiver.

Does anyone else have this problem?

Ive got a new spring set coming, so when im putting it in i figured i would use emery cloth and smooth the sides of the hammer, to solve the problem.

Welcome to the forum.
Opening up the hammer slot with a stone or stoning the side of the hammer will do the same thing. Is it just hairline scratches from a burr? run your finger over the slot/channel and see if you can find it.

Common to see marks there and on the trigger. 'Rubs' can be eliminated with spacers or maybe with some polishing.

Touch up the hammer with scotch brite pad & shim the hammer equal on each side , leavin .003"

I routinely "fix" the sides of the hammer well on my shooters.

If rough, start with a fine file then go to emery paper.

JMHO,

Thanks for the replys. I can't feel any burrs so I think I'll touch up the hammer and see if it needs spacers

Lucky you didn't cut your finger. I often find a razor edge in there somewhere. I polish the hammer to a mirrir finish. Helps.
