Hammer riding on barrel
I would be interested in a hammer that rode the barrel as a guide as opposed to using the frame as a guide. If your familiar with Leupys hammers, something along those lines. His website is here if your not familiar.

–quote from his site– “Unlike the standard frame guided hammers provided by Gunpower, which rattle down the frame on their way to collide at varying angles with the breech slide, most of my hammers are barrel guided, which means they never touch the frame. This design gives precise alignment and presentation at the breech, controled to very fine limits by the barrel clearance, cleaner and more consistent trigger sear release, and is quieter in use because the hammer doesn’t rattle against the frame. These hammers glide completely unlubricated on the polished barrel, giving a very consistent hammer strike, and as an added bonus, have a much improved, superlative cocking feel.
Interesting idea, I’d be interested if ya made some.
BTW, your micropolisher needs a good kick in the arse!!
Be good to ask Leupy first.

What size weights would most people be interested in, or what weights would you recommend. I have a CNC lathe so making them wont be difficult.
