Super Blackhawk Hammer - SOLD

[chiefbg]

I have for sale a SS SBH hammer that I just purchased from another forum member. I had intentions of installing it in a single six 32 H&R not realizing that it wouldn't fit.
The hammer is in great condition, only slightly used with a couple of rub marks on one side.

$40 shipped to 1st "I'll take it."

Thanks... BG

I will take the hammer.

And if RICHP changes his mind, I really need one, so seconds

Chiefbg,

A Bisley .22 and .32 hammer is a nice close second. Same height, almost the same profile and similar look:

One modification needed. Use the hammer pivot pin to hold the hammers together and scribe both sides, then grind, file and re-blue the portion you filed away(if blued).
Before you trace your old hammer, make sure it fits flush with the grip frame 'ears'. Traced but before trimming:

After trimming:

Mr. Hondo44 would you kindly tell us what tools/method you used to contour the bisley hammer. I plan do do the same. Thanks in advance.

Sure:

I "hog out" most of the metal with an 1/8" x 1" Dremel course stone; hammer in a vise. Then true up the course grinding and the corner with a small double cut triangular file. Finish with 400 grit paper wrapped around a 1/4" x 1/2" alum sanding block with flat surfaces, and re-blue with Brownells OxPho blue. That will match the factory finish which is left a bit course. For a higher polish, follow up with 800 grit and 1000 grit. Polish with a Dremel flannel wheel using white rouge made for polishing stainless steel. Then blue.

Notice above that mine has part of the flare on the hammer spur removed as well to look more like a Super Blackhawk hammer.

I usually take about 1/16" off the back of the hammer shank below the spur because they stick out from the frame recoil shield too far for my taste, but don't go too far or the hammer plunger/spring hole will be exposed. You'll notice the newest production hammers have narrower shanks. See hammer on the right:

Note about: REPLACING HAMMER or PAWL:
You do not need to pull the trigger, the pesky gate spring or transfer bar to replace the hammer. Once you take off the grip frame, the hammer pin is the only thing you have to remove to replace the hammer. Even leave the transfer bar in the gun. Just pull the hammer back and all the way down, then depress the hammer plunger in the base of the hammer with a small tipped screwdriver to clear the cyl latch. Let the hammer and pawl fall out. Install in reverse! Piece o' cake.
