I understand there is a mathematical formula to figure the correct strike point on a string. Can someone please let me know what it is? I am attempting to correct a very bad hammer replacement job on the top 1/3 of a Baldwin Hamilton console action. I am working under the assumption that the strike line should be straight and the hammer angle on the shank should be the same. I don't want to duplicate the last horrid job so I need to start from scratch. I am replacing the shanks because the height was uneven and I had to redrill the hammers because the angles were way out of proportion. Thanks in advance, Dave Streit Associate
