Model 60 substitute hammer
Hondo: I removed the original sear from the bobbed hammer and put it back in the spurred hammer. The revolver works fine both DA and SA. The new sear from the spurred hammer went back into the bobbed hammer. It doesn't work. Phooey...
I bought a Model 649 hammer from Numrich. They call it "semi-bobbed" - there is a small checked area to facilitate cocking. Put it into the Model 60 and it works fine!! Did not need any fitting.
The only drawback is the hammer looks like ****. The sides are quite pitted. Is there a good way to clean it up? Sanding, filing, or grinding?
I have not fired it yet with the 649 hammer installed. Perhaps if it works I should leave well enough alone...
