The idea is fine, but reducing flange length accurately by hand is a
most difficult thing to achieve. Any variation in length will
translate directly to variations in the hammer/key ratio.
If you can manage it, a slitting saw and makeshift jig is a better
method for accurately changing action part dimensions.
