I foolishly bent mine a while ago. Couldn't find a replacement so I had a machinist make a few. This is new, mild steel, same dimensions as original strut. I installed one in my III and have over 1,000 rounds on it, still looks the same as day it went in. I you need one I am selling this for $38.00 mailed anywhere in USA. Don't want to get involved in shipping parts out of country. I can email pictures (not having any luck uploading on an IPad.). Payment by USPS MO or personal check (held until check clears my bank). No PayPal please. If interested post a reply. Thanks |

Sorry guys, down to one and I’d prefer to keep it for myself. If you still want them let me know, I can have more machined. Might be a couple bucks more than the last batch he made for me 3 years ago. Thanks

So after bending my factory hammer strut a second time it needed to be replaced. Out of Stock. In an effort to avoid another bent strut, I cut several out of spring steel. This strut floats in the hammer spring and on a solid pin, so the harder material doesn't wear the unavailable parts of this gun. I thought this change in material would render it unbend-able to make up for my clumsy fingers during cleaning. I was wrong. After 8 successive full hammer drops with the slide removed, it finally bent. Installed a second one during assembly and this pistol operates flawlessly. Man I love shooting this gun. Anyone else who needs a replacement hammer strut, I have several cut from spring steel with the same dimensions as the original from my IAI Automag III 30 cal. ------------- Dispite being creatures of habit, we should always strive to increase our sanity. |

I’m also looking for some hammerstruts as I’m collecting 3 used automag iii pistols in 30 carbine in a few weeks, and this will probably be a part that I will have to replace in a few of them. If anyone has a technical drawing with exact dimensions, that would also be interesting! Then I can try to find a machinist to make me some… |

| Hello, I’m a new user here and looking for a replacement hammer strut for my Automag III so I can shoot it again. One of my favorite handguns and like others I’ve been unable to find a replacement. If anyone who has had some made has an extra they would be willing to sell, please message me and I would be very grateful! |

Almost impossible to find I’m afraid. I’m looking for a few months now already… Does anyone have a drawing with exact dimensions maybe? And know which material to use?

Thank you Bmi48219 for writing: "As I recall replacing the strut was an ordeal. An up to date tutorial might save someone from having fits." A very talented friend of mine created this easy to follow Tutorial of "How To Change A Hammer Strut In An Automag III,IV,and V ". Hopefully this will help someone get through the ordeal. https://www.amtguns.info/uploads/1405/Tutorial_AMT_III_Hammer_Strut_Replacement.pdf" rel="nofollow - https://www.amtguns.info/uploads/1405/Tutorial_AMT_III_Hammer_Strut_Replacement.pdf If you find yourself in need of a replacement strut, I have strut upgrades available. They appear identical to the original, but are made of a much stronger material. You will not need a spare. ------------- Dispite being creatures of habit, we should always strive to increase our sanity. |

| Redline Plus, thanks for the instructional. If I recall correctly, the task frequently seemed to require three hands. Not being so endowed I found a piece of scrap wood that fit fairly snugly into the magazine well and cut one end of it to match the grip angle. Attaching that end to a piece of one-by and clamping the one-by to my workbench gave me a stand for the frame so I could use both hands for the work. |

Am I the only one missing this part in the picture? Both my AM iii’s don’t have it, and the one that I returned to the dealer also didn’t…  |

Sharp eye Yellow! No you're not alone, none of my AMT's has that "plunger". In fact I never saw that before.
