On a side note, once the barrel and lock are installed, the hammer will not strike the percussion cap nipple squarely. It is quite far off and barely makes contact. The nipple screws in to the barrel and is predrilled and tapped. It doesnt look like I will be able to bend the nipple either. Neither the barrel or lock can be adjusted without it looking pretty bad. Any suggestions? I could snap a pic if it helps. |
Brownell's rust blueing works fine.
For your alignment problem you have several options depending on skill level and degree of misalignment.
You could build a new hammer.
You could cut and weld existing hammer to cure misalignment.
Change inletting for lock to correct alignment.
Post some pictures for my choice.
