    No idea if those will let you see the pics I took or not.
    to try and clarify: I am missing the rimfire hammer nose pin, the selector detent ball and selector detent spring. The manual states they are factory install only.

    And one more try to share a link to the pics: https://photos.app.goo.gl/6kDoWXanNhn9gtYg8

    I would buy the used hammer. I haven’t seen any new replacement hammers for sale in a long time. And haven’t ever seen the replacement parts you are needing.

    That's just a hardened pin. If you can manage to find or make one that's a size to be forced into the hole, it'll at least hold your centerfire pin in place.
    Also...The SSK parts are supposed to be an exact copy of the original, I'd look into that: https://www.hausofarms.com/SSK-50G1-...LY_p_4159.html

    JA,

    thanks for posting that link. That is a very reasonable price.

    I'm not sure whether any of these parts have been sold for use on Contender frames but they were offering parts long before they had SSK frames so if they sold any, they would have to have been used on TC frames. It might pay to give Marty a call.
    I bought one from Numrich Arms a couple of years ago but I'm sure it was cheaper than this:https://www.gunpartscorp.com/products/1933120

    The SSK hammer is a direct replacement for yours. That's a new one on me too, I'm sure it can be fixed by the right person but no doubt it will be cheaper to get a new one. Gun Parts corp. had some original hammers in stock a while back also but Haus of Arms is less expensive.
