There is a v cut in the front of the hammer of my T/C lock. What is it there for? Is it suppose to be there? It is color case hardened, as is ithe rest of the lock. It does not appear to be an alteration. Any help, or does someone else have a T/C percussion gun you could look at to let me know. Thanks Don

    Thanks, I sell some items I have on an auction site, and do not want to sell anything that was altered. At least now, I know it is from the factory that way. Thanks for the info. Don
