The GrovTec GTHM308 Hammer Extension transforms lever-action operation on vintage Marlin rifles, providing enhanced thumb contact and faster cycling. This precision-machined steel component addresses the narrow hammer spur found on classic Marlin 36 (1936-1947) and early Marlin 336 (1948-1956) models.
What Makes This Different
Unlike aftermarket hammer spurs that require permanent modification, this extension clamps securely over the existing hammer without drilling or machining. The extended profile increases surface area by 40% compared to factory configuration. Black oxide finish matches original Marlin components while providing corrosion resistance.
