@armorer951 Thank you. All the dry firing had been with dummy cartridges or spent brass. Trying the action both SA and DA the hammer is hitting the frame first. I can't say that was the situation before, but it clears up where that stands now. Now being after I touched up the angle on the front hammer seat so it is even all the way across.

Also, after better shaping the bevels at the hammer block top (again to be even and square all the way across) I coated the them with red Dykem. The red is all still there, so I think that's OK now.

Firing pin protrusion is around .044 or .045" (comparing with feeler gages). Khunhausen writes that he has measured .039 to .045" so I think thats OK. (He also suggests .055 to .062 max should be good, but I infer that is if one is replacing the nose)

Head space is about .063"

Finally, put Dykem on the back of the spent brass with the lightests primer indents ran them through in double action. All look to have decent strike marks now.

I think the next step is to go back the range.
