Am I doing something wrong? I tried to put the hammer spur on that came with my rifle and it wont fit, either side or any direction. The slot in the spur is quite a bit too small to slide on.

Do you have a new rifle?

I can't imagine it would be under sized but it could be. First, make sure the set screw is turned out far enough to allow clearance and check if it has a burr or an over flap of ground metal inside opening. If it don't then call and ask for another one, I bet they have more. If that don't fix it, and I hope it do, your hammer may be over sized or to thick. :-\

Maby the set screw needs to be backed out??? ???

My brother bougt an 1894 last year that had the wrong hammer spur in the box. They had to send him a new one that fit fine.

I actually took the set screw out completely because I thought that was it but it is just the wrong size for the hammer apparently. I guess I'm glad to hear someone else got the wrong size hammer spur. Its not a huge deal I can still comfortably reach the hammer under my scope without it.

The only reason I mention the set screw is because I have had small stupid things like that get in my way. Its just one of those things. ;D

I find that the hammer spurs nearly always loosen up and have to be re-tightened on every trip, and during the hunt. Ive even applied loctite and still wriggles off. I own 4 marlin levers and they all do it. Actually my 39A wouldnt even fit on properly . Lost one out in the bush a few months back now. I pulled them off now as It could be dangerous when de-cocking. JMHO.

Go to the reference section and see Big Medicine's fix for hammer spur loosening. It's fast, easy and it works. I use it with all the hammer spurs on the newer guns.
