Handi Bases and Rings

[bb4guns]

I see it has been years since this subject has been covered. My solution is to add .5 picatinny riser onto the base and use high rings for full size scopes. Plenty of room for your thumb to cock the hammer without any hammer extension. It will put your scope 2.5 inches above the bore. Works great for straight wall cartridges.

Hammer extensions are like $10 or less. Just sayin............................

The reason I do not use hammer extensions; they slow down hammer lock time! My SB1 and SB2 receivers all have had their triggers worked over by David White (precisionriflesmith@gmail.com) and they are amazing. A scope that is mounted high is not a problem for long range shooting.

I agree with you 100% on this.  I can easily hear the difference in lock time with a hammer extension on.  I bought a couple extra hammers from Numrich Gun Parts with the intent to skeletonize them.  It's a project I never got around to finishing.  I just might get back to it next winter....  It would be interesting to see how much the lock time could be improved.

Geezerbiker thanks for your input. CVA has come up with a very lite weight solution to the hammer extension. They use a nureled screw that threads into the left or right side of the hammer. Dinny on of the contributors has shared a picture of hi 45 Colt Handi that has had the trigger threaded with the nureled  screw I staled. It is a solution to slowing down lock-time on the hammer.

Where do you think they learned about that? You need to spend more time reading the FAQs.
