Nice curly Maple grip, partly shaped, not finished. No springs yet.
Hammer cocked.
Hammer before any shaping, just a block of steel.
Small notch in hammer was to be for a coil spring mechanism.
Hammer with pull thong and ugly spring. Grip will have a lanyard ring for the half-cock block.
So it's just an ugly spring that works on a partly shaped hammer. If you have better ideas for a hammer spring, leave me a comment. Half-cock block shown here.
Close up of the lock mechanism.
New hammer spring 0.32 inch thick, 0.5 inch wide, brass (7.62x54R) flash cup added to hammer, hammer simplified a bit, barrel bored to smooth
Top view.
Hammer down.
Rough workmanship, ugh.
