Mods (Part I) - Yes, the hammer is bobbed.
I bobbed it myself using only files and abrasives (no power tools). It took a while, but I was pleased with the result.
That was one of two permanent changes I made since acquisition: the other was dehorning the thumb safety, which I then painted satin black à la Krylon (no bluing tank handy). That turned out rather more cheesy, of course, but it was absolutely necessary and you kinda have to look hard to tell.
Other changes included the grips and trigger, the bushing from collet to solid, and the MSH from factory arched to Pachmayr flat.
The gun also came equipped with a buffer system consisting of a captive spring-loaded steel plunger mounted in the recoil spring guide. I removed that assembly and replaced it with a GI-type part.
