The S&W K-Frame 17-3 target hammer I ordered arrived in a reasonable amount of time and was in great shape. Unfortunately, it was not suitable for the purpose I ordered it which was to replace one of the new MIM hammers on a S&W rimfire revolver. There are considerable differences between the two. A very persistence person with the right tools can, in fact, get it to work but it's SO not work the time and effort. Even then, the person would need to have the modified hammer refinished (color case hardened) to restore it to factory appearance, harden the metal, and protect it from rusting. There are better options out there. But for the proper application (a pre-97 S&W rimfire revolver) the hammer I purchased was in like new condition and would have worked splendidly.
