Low Profile M83 Hammer Spur?
« on: March 04, 2013, 11:27:25 AM »
Forgive my musings, http://www.bowenclassicarms.com/workshop.html#CustomFreedomArms44Special I have done my fair amount of drooling on "Eye Candy" thread, yet I have seen no deviation from the stock hammer spur. I contacted Bowen and was told that they have neither the time or the setup to make these low profile hammers for the M83. Does anyone know of a shop that would/ could create this interesting look?

Sorry I cant help with your question, but thanks for that link. That shop looks like they do some nice work. All those pistols are purdy.

Robb Barnes (Kings6) had 2 built a couple years ago. I believe that Alan Harton of Houston Tx. did the work, by welding a Ruger Bisley hammer spur that Robb supplied, to a FA hammer. I no longer recall whether it was  an 83 or a 97.
I believe Robb posts here. If not, you could find him as Kings6 on www.singleactions.com

Harton is doing a lower spur but not the bisley.


Aggie over on single actions is having a 97 done now I believe.
