Mount a scope on a lever gun and you run into the same old problem: your thumb has nowhere to go when it's time to cock or lower the hammer. Carlson's built this Hammer Expander to fix exactly that on the Henry Golden Boy .22 rimfire. It gives you an extended, knurled thumb pad that sits off to the side of the hammer spur, so you can work the action cleanly without contorting your hand under the optic.
The body measures .375 inches in diameter and 1.500 inches long, machined from aluminum and finished in a black hard anodize that holds up to handling and the elements. The knurling across the surface gives your thumb something to bite into, so cocking and decocking stay positive even with cold or gloved hands. Because it clamps to the hammer itself and not the trigger group, it helps spread out wear on the trigger and sear surfaces over time.
One of the nicer touches here is that the expander installs on either side of the hammer. You decide which way it points based on how you shoot, so southpaws get the same easy reach as everyone else. Folks who run it report it fits their Henry .22 well and makes reaching the hammer around a scope a whole lot simpler.
Setup is straightforward. You slide it onto the hammer, orient it for your dominant hand, and snug down the single set screw with the included allen wrench. A dab of thread locker is a smart move to keep it from backing out under repeated shooting, and taking a minute to check that the bolt cycles freely before heading to the range is always worth it. It works whether you're running iron sights or glass, so it earns its keep either way. Made in the USA and backed by a lifetime warranty.
Yes, this model is made specifically for Henry Golden Boy rimfire rifles. It clamps onto the factory hammer spur and orients for either hand. Since hammer dimensions can vary slightly, a little minor fitting is sometimes needed to get everything cycling smoothly.
Once you mount an optic, the scope tube tends to sit right over the hammer and crowds out your thumb. A hammer extension like this one moves the cocking surface off to the side so you can cock and safely lower the hammer without fighting the scope. Plenty of folks running scoped lever guns consider it close to a must-have.
It slides onto the hammer and locks down with a single set screw using the included allen wrench. Point it toward your dominant hand before tightening, and hand-snug is all you need so you don't strip the small hardware. A drop of thread locker helps keep it from working loose over repeated shooting.
Absolutely. The design is ambidextrous, so it installs on either side of the hammer. You simply orient it for left- or right-hand use before snugging the set screw.
