    The bottom of these (2) specimens is what Mammoth tooth looks like ..... for real !
    It's preserved, and strengthened by high-pressure injection of a substance that's very similar to Super Glue !
    The plastic replica on that inexpensive revolver is a poor look-a-like, IMO ! :facepalm:

    Ugh, taking a break from my foray into gunsmithing. The video didn't look too hard, so I figured I could do it no problem. After going slow and a bit of frustration finding the new "Oh :poop: spring Victory version" out of the carpet several times, I got it all back together in the frame only to go to pull the hammer back to get the slide back on only to find out the hammer don't go back... :ugh:

    Cooling off so I can take it all back apart to try again.

    Well, I got a partial success anyway. Got the TK Victory trigger installed and it works very well. Not that difficult of an installation, but keeping the trigger detent spring from flying away as I tried to install it was a bit of a PITA. The Thunder hammer would not install. I tried everything I could think of, but while I could get it in, I could never get it to cock. The standard hammer installed back in fine, but taking it out and dropping the Thunder hammer in its place just would not work. Very frustrating. May have to call TK to see if I did something wrong or if something is wrong with the hammer... :(

    That spring is frustrating. I had to retrieve it 4 times. Couldn't believe I actually found it that many times. Results are good though.
    Can't offer any suggestions for the hammer. Mine did not have that problem.

    Dremel it until it works or until it won't ever work.

    Perhaps a 2-finger, no...make that a 3-finger AngelEnvy neat will soothe that extra high blood pressure....
