Traditions Replacement Hammer Extension for Vortek, Pursuit, and Yukon Muzzleloaders

If you've mounted a scope on your Traditions Vortek, Pursuit, or Yukon muzzleloader, you've run into the problem: the standard hammer sits too low to reach comfortably when your cheek is against the comb for a scoped setup. The Traditions Replacement Hammer Extension solves that with a simple, field-proven fix. This extension screws directly into your muzzleloader's hammer, raising your thumb's reach so you can cock the gun smoothly whether you're a right- or left-handed shooter.

Muzzleloading with modern optics demands practical solutions, and Traditions designed this extension to work seamlessly with their popular in-line platforms. It's the kind of small upgrade that transforms a scope-mounted blackpowder rifle from awkward to genuinely shootable. If you're hunting or practicing at distance with a scoped Vortek, Pursuit, or Yukon, this accessory eliminates one of the most common ergonomic frustrations on these rifles.

Installation is straightforward—no gunsmithing required. The extension threads into your existing hammer, making it a reversible upgrade if you ever want to return to iron sights or a traditional cocking stance. For hunters and shooters who've already invested in a quality scope for their Traditions muzzleloader, this is the natural next step.

Key Features

• Threads into hammer for easy installation—no permanent modification
• Works with both right- and left-handed shooters
