Hello everyone. I'm glad this topic came up when it did. I've got an action to an 1885 Weber grand torn apart on a couple of benches, with WNG parts ready to install. I'm keeping the old action rails and wooden spacer / brackets for the rails, but am installing new repetitions, hammer shanks, capstans, and backchecks. I'm also doing the back action for the dampers with all new parts. Here's my question. I've planned all along to order my hammers (Abel) from Schaff. Has anyone had experience with using their hammers on the WNG shanks? Usually I have them bore my hammers - I'm hoping that isn't a problem with the small shank size. Anyone have experience with having them do this? Also, the topic of glue to use has been brought up. Is a thicker CA glue the consensus? What brand? Again, I'm really glad to read all the discussion on this topic. Any other practical suggestions from people who have worked through the process would be appreciated.
