I'm not looking for a cure...I'm doing what one of you mentioned and peering through my gun safe to see which hammerless firearms I'm willing to part with!!!!....(to acquire more hammer guns....naturally!). My sort of collection is mostly Jones Underlever or top lever with one Lefaucheux. I wouldn't be averse to a side lever, just haven't found one that trips my trigger.....yet.
I have seen some what appeared to be decent 10 bores for around a grand. My problem is there's either a kiplauf or Scheutzen rifle at the head of the line. When the search begins in earnest it will have to have Damascus barrels.
For better or worse, I see to have settled on English hammered shotguns. I wouldn't mind a nice drilling, but rifle barrel tends to be chambered in some obscure caliber and the prices are higher then I would like for a gun that real serves no practical purpose for me since I don't hunt or shoot clay birds on a regular basis.
