If you taper the front of the groove in the bottom of your added target 'shoe' deep enough in the front, up to the bottom of the checkering on the front edge of the shoe, it should blend nicely into the .265" width of the original hammer and almost look factory.

Yes, I had hammer shoes on a scoped Thompson Contender and a scoped Marlin 336 back when the front wheel of my bicycle was 6' tall. The set screws cut the hammers up pretty bad back then - probably still do. A guy should have Acraglased'em back then and given his hammers a little salvation.
I think I'll need to check the existing hammer/frame clearance in cocked condition first thing.
I believe this N-Frame hammer is about what I need. I don't want a full .500 target hammer but just enough for a good purchase. What do you think?
