Musket Hammer hitting slightly off
Hi all, I have a gun where the hammer is side swiping the firing pin rather than hitting square on, and I'm worried that the gun or hammer will get damaged.
Looking at some photos of other guns of the same type, my hammer has warped for sure, and requires bending laterally to straighten it up. Is there someone the trade that can perhaps do this ?
I was thinking Dysons ?
Thanks in advance

I asked for pictures because I am really intrested to see what you problem is with you musket/rifle hammers no other reason.
And why does it have to be some one in the trade.

Ok fair enough, and thanks for taking a look.
Picture below with the hammer on the firing pin as it would end when the trigger is pulled. The green line is the angle it should be at. Also note the gap between the lock and where the hammer mounts. If pushed flush then the hammer will hit the block (as someone previously found it it seems)
