Mossberg 46 CENTERFIRE - Manual (Page 11)

PRECAUTIONS AND CARE WITH YOUR RIFLE
When you store your rifle, make sure that the magazine, carrier and the chamber are
empty. Keep the action open. We strongly urge you to use the lock shipped with this
firearm. The lock should be looped through the lever as shown in Fig. 6.
Handling leaves finger prints that can cause metal parts to rust. Abrupt changes in
temperature can cause condensation and moisture. Wipe the barrel and other metal
parts with light oil after handling.

HAMMER EXTENSION
The Model 464™ Lever Action is supplied with a hammer extension. The hammer
extension can be used when a scope is mounted to the rifle. It extends from the side of
the hammer and makes it easier to operate the hammer. It can be mounted either in the
right hand or left hand position.
Before installing, place a drop of thread locking compound on the threaded end of the
hammer extension. Insert the threaded end of the hammer extension into the threaded
hole in the right or left side of the hammer. (Right-handed shooters usually prefer
mounting on the right side of the hammer). Hand tighten the hammer extension into the
hammer, (Fig. 5).
