I[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]used the picture hanger for the Mild steel and bent it backwards to match the contour of the hammer and then took a Here is a picture of the picture hanger that I contoured to the shape of the hammer
l cut off a piece a little over an 1/4 long Piece and used JB Weld to put the piece about an 1/8 inch piece below the full cock notch.
Then use a file and a Dremel to thin the piece a little at a time (making sure not to touch the full cock notch )to make sure That I had enough contact to prevent push off .
After fiddling around with it I ended up with a Hammer with no push off and no perceptible creep.
2.5 pounds on my cheapo trigger scale.
I am going to practice soldering on pieces of scrap and if this shim ever falls off I will then solder the piece back on.[Linked Image from i.imgur.com][Linked Image from i.imgur.com]
