The Carlson's Choke Tubes 00114 replacement hammer transforms Henry Golden Boy rimfire rifles with enhanced durability and consistent firing pin strike. This precision-machined aluminum component addresses wear issues common in high-volume shooting while maintaining the rifle's classic lever-action reliability.
What Makes This Different
Unlike factory steel hammers that can develop inconsistent strike patterns over time, this black anodized aluminum hammer delivers uniform firing pin contact shot after shot. The lightweight aluminum construction reduces lock time by 15% compared to standard components, while the hard anodized finish resists corrosion and wear. CNC machining ensures precise tolerances that eliminate the slight play often found in factory parts.
Key Features
- CNC-machined 6061-T6 aluminum construction for consistent performance
- Hard anodized black finish resists corrosion and surface wear
- Precision-ground striking surface ensures reliable primer ignition
- Direct replacement for Henry Golden Boy .22 LR, .22 WMR, and .17 HMR models
- Reduced weight improves lock time and trigger response
- Heat-treated contact points withstand thousands of firing cycles
- Drop-in installation requires no gunsmith modifications
Field testing demonstrates improved ignition reliability with both standard velocity and high-velocity rimfire ammunition. The reduced hammer weight contributes to faster lock time, particularly beneficial for precision shooting and competitive applications. Weather resistance testing shows the anodized finish maintains function in temperatures from -20°F to 140°F with no degradation in performance.
