I have a 45-70 that the hammer sits up a bit high and cause a bit of a problem with the bolt sliding back. Does the hammer need to be replaced or do I just file down the hammer?
Can you post a picture or two that shows the problem...?! ( I would NOT file down the hammer !! ) that will not fix the problem... How did the problem occur...? Thread moved to the correct subforum: Gunsmithing
Here are the pictures of the problem child. It has had a rough action since I bought it. I have replaced the handle and the carrier.
