Re: hammer extensions
Don't quote me on your rifle but my hammer rifles needed the factory designed extension.

Re: hammer extensions
I think it's very cool to click and shoot using one, but mine always seem to come loose. At least on Marlins.
I stopped using them on Winchesters because I was having problems with misfires and light hammer strikes. One piece of advice was to lighten the hammer by getting rid of the extension. Seems to help.

I use the Uncle Mike's brand on my Marlins. Never a problem.
