Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it on to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children what it was once like in the United States when men were free.  Ronaldus Maximus

Hopefully your hammer extension is a lightweight aluminum version.  If your hammer ext is giving you the troubles try a heavy duty hammer spring and check the headspace.  I would take the ext off and see if it still happens and then go from there.

I had problems having removed the rear stock I replaced it but didn't put a washer on the allenhead screw. Its been awhile but I beleive I had problems being able to cock the hammer. With out the washer the screw extended a little further into the action.
