Mossberg 46 RIMFIRE - Manual (Page 11)

H HA AM MM ME ER R E EX XT TE EN NS SIIO ON N
The Model 464™ Rimfire Lever Action is supplied with a hammer extension. The
hammer extension can be used when a scope is mounted to the rifle. It extends from
the side of the hammer and makes it easier to operate the hammer. It can be mounted
either in the right hand or left hand position.
Before installing, place a drop of thread locking compound on the threaded end of the
hammer extension. Insert the threaded end of the hammer extension into the threaded
hole in the right or left side of the hammer. (Right-handed shooters usually prefer
mounting on the right side of the hammer). Hand tighten the hammer extension into the
hammer, (Fig. 7).

When you store your rifle, make sure that the magazine, feed throat and the chamber are
empty. Keep the action open. We strongly urge you to use the lock shipped with this
firearm. The lock fits over the lever and trigger and keeps the action open. To fit the lock,
turn the key to the unlock position and separate both halves. Place the left half over the
lever and trigger as shown in Fig. 8a. Slide the right half over the left half pins and turn
the key to the lock position (Fig 8b).
Handling leaves finger prints that can cause metal parts to rust. Abrupt changes in
temperature can cause condensation and moisture. Wipe the barrel and other metal
parts with light oil after handling.
