StantheMan 3 Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 Hello everybody, great forum. I am currently working on my first conversion and have a question about the fire control group. Do you guys reshape your hammers? I notice the arsenal/bulgarian hammer combo doesn't strike the bolt square but does hit the firing pin square. Is this a non-issue or shall I continue with refacing the hammer? Thank You. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dubya 198 Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 Is it peening? I swear SS asked this same question in different words. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StantheMan 3 Posted April 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 What is peening exactly? I have not shot the rifle yet it is just something that I noticed and did a little research on the web and saw a couple incidents where the hammer was not correctly profiled. Thank You.

Have you ever heard of Google? https://www.google.com/search?q=peening&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=com.yahoo:en-US:official&client=firefox&channel=rcs http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peening Peening is the process of working a metal's surface to improve its material properties, usually by mechanical means such as hammer blows or by blasting with shot (shot peening). Peening is normally a cold work process (laser peening being a notable exception[citation needed]). It tends to expand the surface of the cold metal, thereby inducing compressive stresses or relieving tensile stresses already present. Peening can also encourage strain hardening of the surface metal 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
