The GrovTec GTHM283 Hammer Extension transforms the shooting experience on Henry Big Boy and single shot rifles by providing enhanced leverage and improved hammer manipulation. This precision-machined steel component addresses the common challenge of operating hammer-fired rifles with gloved hands or in adverse conditions.
What Makes This Different
Unlike generic hammer spurs that simply add length, the GTHM283 features an ergonomically contoured design that distributes thumb pressure evenly across a wider surface area. The extension increases effective hammer reach by 0.75 inches while maintaining the rifle's original balance point. The textured gripping surface provides positive contact even with wet or gloved hands, eliminating the slippage common with smooth factory hammers.

Field testing demonstrates significant improvement in hammer cocking speed and reliability across temperature ranges from -20°F to 120°F. The extension proves particularly valuable for hunters wearing heavy gloves, competitive shooters requiring rapid follow-up shots, and tactical applications where reliable hammer operation is critical. The steel construction withstands repeated cycling without wear or deformation.
