Has hammer boy are they tight I bet they just need a little work and they will loosen up, but its marked on the inside of the fore arm A&T S/F So it was used by the rail road. Atchison Topeka & Santa Fa railroad. There is no bead front sight and the shop owner said we can put one on it but heck I want it just like it is. I'll be using it in my cowboy shooting, I think hammer will loosing up as the bluing is still no the firing pins lol. I doubt it was shot much, I have a feeling thing will change in thqat department lol. |

The hammers are real stiff you cock but I am thinking that with some working them they might ease up a good bit. At least it worked that way for me on my TTN. |

But she has a good home now wit a man that knows how to work her and not work her hard but also how to take good care of her. I think she should be called Sweet Lady |
