SB1 or Topper hammer in SB2?
« on: November 26, 2005, 04:44:05 AM »
I have a faint recollection (like most of my recollections these days) that somewhere, sometime, somebody, mentioned something about putting a hammer from either a shotgun or a Topper in an SB2 frame. The recollection is that this hammer has a different profile than the normal, current hammer, and allows for slightly more clearance for the scope.

Am I recollecting correctly..?

Cheers

I think there was talk about it, but I don't remember anyone actually trying it...remember the gold tone hammer?? You can order the part and try it!! Be sure to let us know. :wink:  They also list the mannlicher forend!!

No Tim , Actually I don't remember the gold tone hammer...! But it sounds intriguing.

I like the price on the mannlicher forends they list, but they also seem to be all out of stock! :cry:

This morning I just happened to compare a Topper frame with one of my SB2 frames and noticed that the hammers are different shapes, and the Topper is definitely a lower profile... then I thought I remembered somebody saying they had used a Topper hammer on their frame in order to get more scope clearance.

I have a 357 mag barrel on the Topper, and a peep sight, and don't have any plans to put a scope on it, but I might just to experiment.

Anyway, I am not actually prepared to change hammers at the moment, but I was curious. Maybe when I finally get around to doing a trigger job I'll go that route... but so far all my triggers are satisfactory.  8)

Thanks

Kerry, I've been thinking about just ordering one to try it, but they list 4 different hammers including the gold tone. If they changed the internal fit, they most likely wouldn't work on the SB2, but I spose with the matching trigger, it might work fine. I'll be waiting for your results. :wink: Here's the original thread(I think!) which won't open for me, now.

just as an aside, H&R may still have a few Mannlicher forearms available. I and several others bought them earlier this year. If you do want one just call CS and inquire....<><.... :grin:
