New Member and learning about these Spencer firearms.
Purchased a M1865 at a local collectors estate auction and it seems quite nice, all
intact except for a missing rear sling swivel but does have the base and screw.
My question is about the hammer which is pretty still to cock but functions correctly.
The level action is fine and easy to operate.
I was wondering if the screw in the hammer could be causing the stiffness and whether
I can loosen it a bit without causing a problem?
Would be great to have the cocking of the hammer as fluid and easy as the level action!
Appreciate any help.
