Talking Question on Hammers

I am in the process of having a Leatherman scope installed on my Hawkens Carbine and have run into a problem. I will need an offset ****ing hammer. The scope will be in the way of the hammer's travel.

Now question is do they have after market offset hammers for sale or will I have to have mine heated and bent to the side?

I know that Semisane has a few scopes mounted on some of his sidelocks, but don't know if he has encountered this problem.

The Leatherman is a Malcolm style long scope with a short eye relief. Because of this, it must be mounted further back on the barrel.

Any help would be appreciated guys.

Call TC and ask for an offset hammer. They sent me two at no charge.
