Any body know where I could find a hammer extension for my 50cal T/C Omega?

I can not find anything at my local stores including Gander MT and Cabela's.

Thanks for any help!

I own several of these rifles as well. I have looked at both the places you mentioned and never found an after-market extionsion that fit.

In light of your post, I just sent a note to T/C asking if they have any such animal available or know anyone who makes them after-market. I will let you know if I hear anything back from T/C.

Thanks Zlabs,

I also sent an e-mail to T/C yesterday so I will also let you know what I find out.

Thanks Again.

Below is the response I got from T/C. I suspect the extra weight of the hammer extension slows the hammer speed enough to make the hit on the primer too light to be consistently reliable.

We don’t make a hammer extension and we don’t recommend one. It will cause misfires. You can look in Cabela’s catalogue because I have seen them. They are not ours.

Hey Zlabs,

At least you got a response. I never have. But sure would like to find one. I can't imagine they would miss-fire because of the added weight. The hammer on my omega is not a weak spring at all. Also, it does not take much of a hit to pop the 209 primer.

Thanks!

Rudy, thanks for the attempt at help. However, if this is the product you meant, it is for Encore and Contenders only.

If not, which product did you mean? I could not find it on the site.

I looked at them also and do not believe they will work on the TC Omega.

Thanks!
