Hammer strut pin   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #437 of 2339 |
Hello all,
I have a Kimber Custom that shoots very well except for a creepy
trigger, I want to put a Chip McCormick hammer, strut and sear in
it.
I need help in understanding how I install the strut in the hammer.
Jerry Kuhnhausen's book indicates the pin must be staked. The photo
in the book doesn't help me much. I thought staking involved a prick-
type punch in the center of both sides of the pin to upset the pin
end which would increase the diameter of the pin such that it
wouldn't move laterally in the hammer hole.
I would greatly appreciate help with this,
Art

Hi, It would seem that if it is a loose fit the frame would hold it in place whereas if it was somewhat tight it might drag against the frame. Thank you for...
