HAMMER EXTENSION
Some Model 94 rifles are supplied with a hammer exten-
sion. A hammer extension is useful when a scope is
mounted. It extends to the side, making it convenient to
cock and lower the hammer even with a low-mounted
scope.
The hammer extension can be used in either the right
hand or left hand position. To install, coat the hammer
extension threads with Loctite
® thread locking com-
pound. Position the round hollow edge to the left or right
as preferred and fully tighten the hammer extension in
the tapped hole in the hammer (See Figure 19). (Right-
handed shooters usually prefer mounting the extension to
the right side.)
WARNING: HAMMER EXTENSIONS CAN
LOOSEN WITH USE. OCCASIONALLY CHECK
TO MAKE SURE YOUR HAMMER EXTENSION
IS STILL ON TIGHTLY. PROPER MOUNTING OF
THE HAMMER EXTENSION IS IMPORTANT TO
PREVENT ACCIDENTAL DISCHARGE.
It is important to familiarize yourself thoroughly with the
operation and use of the hammer extension and your
firearm prior to using live ammunition.
