Parts for Type 3 era frame

[teamnelson]

I'm in the process of picking up another TC, 1975 production. This one has a cotter pin holding the selector screw in place. Looking at it, it appears as though there should be a small spring that pushes out on 2 little BBs, which in turn snap into small recesses on the sides of the hammer. So, it should click when you turn it, I guess.

If that's right, where can I get those little parts?

You can call TC they are really good about sending parts out......not sure if this drawing is the same generation you have but it will give you an idea on what to ask for.........

I know TC used to update the whole hammer assembly free of charge if it was broke.  I had one about the same vintage that had a problem and they installed the new assembly, just like on a new contender and it cost me the freight to send it to them, nothing else.  I'd sure give'm a call.
GOOD SHOOTIN', Walt  :grin:

yep my first Contender which was a 2nd generation I believe developed a split thru the hammer. I paid the shipping to get it to them and they replaced the whole assembly. I did however pay them to convert it to easy open at the same time. It  took four weeks.
