Default RE: TC Thunderhawk

Just so you know, there are good reasons to remove the bolt each time you clean the rifle. There will be fowling build up in that hammer and if you do not take the bolt out from time to time and clean it off, there will be rusting taking place around the hammer and under it in the breech of the rifle. If it's like most rifles, you remove the back locking lug, then take the hammer spring out, depress the trigger on the rifle and push the hammer back out of the back side of the rifle. Wipe every thing down real good and clean and just reverse the procedure to put it back together. But to each their own. I have a nipple wrench like that too and they work all right until you get a scope on the rifle. They you will see the need for the other kind. Also a little anti seize on the threads of the nipple when you put it back in goes a long way to making it easy to come back out the next time.
