I saw this on a few but just the 45/70 models, guess they are putting that awful thing on all of them now. So along with the Huntington grip mod it will need a new hammer now.

e-mailed Magnum Research about the new hammers and got this response.
I have been seeing new BFRs on gunbroker.com with a new hammer shape. Is this your new hammer? If so I would like to say the old hammer worked really well and looked much nicer then this new one. Is the old hammer still available as an option? Thanks, John
John,
Those are the current hammers. The BFR gunsmith said we had a few people that didn't like these and so in a couple months we will be using new hammers that are closer to the older ones.
