Design of carbine hammers ...

[CrossedCannons]

Fooling around with the part in a CAD program, it just struck me ...

Why was the channel cut in the left hand side of carbine hammers, first in a diagonal orientation relative its firing pin striking surface, and later nearly orthogonal to it?

There must have been a reason for incorporating it into the drawings, and the extra machining required to produce it.
