Hammer Extension

Ever felt your fingers struggling to reach the hammer on your lever-action rifle after mounting a scope? You're not alone. That's where a hammer extension comes in, a nifty little attachment that offers a big improvement for lever rifle users.

What is a Hammer Extension?

A hammer extension is exactly what it sounds like - an extension for the hammer spur on your lever rifle. It provides additional leverage, making it easier to cock the hammer, especially when a scope gets in the way of grabbing the stock hammer.

Benefits of a Hammer Extension:

• Easier Cocking: The extra leverage makes cocking the hammer a breeze, especially for those with limited hand strength or dexterity.
• Scope Friendly: Solves the issue of an obstructing scope by giving you a larger, easier-to-reach surface to grab.
• Improved Control: The added size can enhance your grip on the hammer, leading to better control during operation.

Things to Consider When Choosing a Hammer Extension:

• Rifle Compatibility: Hammer extensions are not one-size-fits-all. Find one specifically designed for your lever rifle model.
• Material: Rubber offers comfort but may not be as durable as plastic. Choose based on your preference for feel and longevity.
• Size: Go for an extension that provides enough leverage without becoming bulky and uncomfortable.

A Simple and Effective Upgrade

Hammer extensions are a simple yet impactful upgrade for your lever-action rifle. They're relatively inexpensive, easy to install, and can significantly improve your shooting experience, especially when using a scope. So, if you've been wrestling with that stock hammer spur, consider a hammer extension - your fingers will thank you!
