1863 Springfield

[Dusty_Traveler]

Does anyone have a model 1863 hammer in their parts pile?

I'm just in need of some measurements: the length of throw, and the diameter of the tumbler hole across the flats. I would be much obliged!

The square tumbler shaft measures .318 inches.

The hammer hole is tapered. .313 outer face and .324 inner face. Probably from being taken on and off a zillion times in the past 160 years.

The center of the tumbler screw hole to the center of the nipple is 2.013 inches.
