That is a fine looking rifle.

Heated and bent hammer and ground a little out of the inside of hammer cup, works good now. Here are a few pics of the rifle, added a short post for the rear sight, lyman front sight and original...

The strange thing about the new hammer is when it it down all the way without nipple301471 it is centered. Going to work on it this weekend and see what happens

Update, after a long spell of not working on the under hammer I finally got to the finish line,( or so I thought) the new hammer is short of going over the nipple. At first glance it looks like the...

Ordered a new barrel from Pecatonica River should get here some time next week. The taper pin is not exactly on the center line of the frame so I might have the holes welded up and just use set...

Thanks John for the info. That pistol sure is nice, I would bet that its a handful when fired.

I have decided to get a new barrel, the big question for me is how to do the breech plug, this rifle has the tapered pin holding the barrel on. Do I use the old and fit it to come out the same length...

Nice rifle Bedbugbilly , my stock is cracked in the same way. I bought a bore scope to look into the barrel and didn't like what I found, pitted gouge marks like someone ran a steel rod down it, has...

Update: Ordered new parts from Deer Creek got them today. New hammer,main spring, trigger and spring.284910 no slot in old trigger284911

The rifle is a Heritage model in 45cal, the more I look at the hammer and trigger assembly I believe there is no spring that puts pressure on the trigger, the contact point where the trigger engages...

Thanks everyone for the helpful info, really looking forward to getting this rifle back in shape and seeing how she shoots.

Thanks Kens

I picked up this H&A knowing that it needs some work, the spring that hold the trigger in place is missing(not the big spring on the outside). I would appreciate any advice on where to find one. The...

Living in the state where our former governors in (prison) make our license plates we have an up hill battle with the new governor JB and mad Mike. Gun control laws will be coming from all...

Just tried the BLL on 45acp 230gr Lee TL boolits behind 4grs bullseye, worked great no leading and actually gave better accuracy than plain ole alox. Thanks Ben.

Is this for deer hunting or turkey? IF this is for deer hunting I would try to get the cantilever barrel that way when you remove the barrel point of aim is the same when reinstalled. Another option...

Try the Sabot Pressure Wad http://slugsrus.com/ they shoot very well and are affordable.

Here is a breech plug for t/c it may have to be modified it fits a 15/16 http://longrifles-pr.com/breechplugs.shtml

I have both the ballistics products and precision reloading roll crimp tools. I have had the best results with the precision reloading crimp tool

I have the 12ga version and never had a problem, but I spray the pin and cavity with graphite lube , no sticking. Is the mould closing completely?

If you drill the hole larger make sure you stone the burr off the bottom of the sprue cutter .

I bought a Lyman #55 black powder measures about a year ago. Finally took it out of the box to use it and found that the hopper was egg shaped, (I did measure it to verify out of round ) and was hard...

If you are wanting to reload for the 220, I would look at the SPW (SABOT PRESSURE WAD). I have had good results with them and are cheaper than factory loads (accutips). Round ball loads shoot good...
