Hello all,
Has anyone else noticed the converted trade gun (AAA 640) for sale on Track of the wolf's website? How common was it to convert a hammer like that? Wouldn't it have been easier to just replace the hammer?
Or is that how it was done in the transitional era between flint and percussion?
Beacuse I can't figure out how to do a link, I'll explain.
The flint cock has had the top jaw replaced with a piece of metal which serves as a hammer nose.
Regards,
Brian George
