broom handle hammer not locking back

With sac ca stamp, it should be a broomhandle imported from China in 1980s.

For project C96, it's a special category. There are better base guns from time to time. For example, this one was sold just a few days ago:

Well... It's $240 more expensive than that $450 one. But be honest, to reline the bore of that $450 piece, that will easily cost you $240. Fixing the hammer problem,,, parts plus labor,,, won't cost another $100?? After that, will it work... who knows... I understand people are doing project not for money, just for fun, but a better base will be easier to start.

This $690 one has a weird grip, which is ugly. But a pair of reproduction grip panels are easy to come, and cheap.
