Good afternoon all,

I have a pin fire gun that one of the hammers is cracked. I just so happened to run across a casting that looks to be a dead ringer for my hammer in throw shape etc.

Is there a way to tell if this casting is quality enough before doing all the tedious work needed to turn the casting into a usable hammer?

Also anyone do this before and willing to give me some initial direction or advise?

Many thanks.
