hand shooters it should protrude to the left side.
2. Slide the hammer extension over the end of the ham-
mer spur. The notch in the mount has an internal rail
that guides the extension into place. The cut out portion
of the extension goes to the rear (see Figure 20)
3. The hammer extension is secured to the hammer with
an allen wrench. It is located inside the hollow tube-like
extension itself. With the extension pushed fully forward
into position, insert the allen wrench into the head of the
screw and tighten the allen screw against the side of the
hammer.
If you have trouble starting the screw into the threads it
may be because of the thread locking compound on the
screw itself. This thread locking compound is a blue-green
color and is important in keeping your extension tight on
the hammer spur. To make it easier to start the screw you
may need to back it out and clean the compound off of
the first thread of the screw. Then reinsert and tighten
lightly.
4. Test the extension by working the hammer through its
full range. Under most circumstances the extension will
operate best when fully forward on the hammer spur. If
there isn’t sufficient clearance between the extension and
scope or if the extension contacts the receiver at full-
cock, it is possible to reposition the extension slightly
along the hammer spur.
5. Once the position of the extension has been finalized it
