Link? I'm really curious about this. A M37 Steelbuilt .410 was my first gun, then a 20 gauge came a few years later. A 12 gauge was my grandpa's favorite gun to tote behind his pack of beagles while chasing rabbits. Hammers on the early M37's were small and curved backward. Might look like a "switch" or safety button in a picture. If I remember correctly Winchester didn't call that first version piece a hammer. They had some other name for the part but it was a hammer all the same. The M37A was redesigned with a more conventional hammer spur. Grandpa hated the redesign and strongly preferred the original Steelbuilt.


Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.
