Recently got in a Lefever Arms Co. 16 ga. early F grade for cleaning. 16 ga., 28" Damascus" barrels, 5.5 lb.'s, 2.375" chambers. Bores are shiny , and really clean after cleaning. R firing pin replaced long ago, top lever spring came out as two pieces, I think the replacement firing pin was a hair too long as the hammer face is heavily indented, and is beginning 2 fatigue cracks. I'm fitting a new spring, but need to know if there are any hammers available, or the metalurgy to repair the cracked one, in case one day it becomes necessary. Plan is to leave it alone and document what was found.
