Hi all, recently purchased a Bergara BA13 takedown, I am a lefty and wanting to change the hammer extension over to the left side. Anyone now if I’m dealing with a left hand thread?

Good question, you would think it should be.
I'll go have a nosey at mine now
Nothing in the manual.
Nope, I can't tell. I was hoping to look at the left hand side of the hammer with a magnifying glass to see the thread, but my eyesight ain't good enough :cool:
Yes left hand thread, works both sides
Anti clockwise in both sides, same piece.
Thanks Team. I have a new problem now… the man in the gun store used red loctite on the thread ffs :omg:
Looks like I may be able to free it with brake cleaner.
A gentle bit of heat does the trick on red loctite. Go hard with a heat gun, or gently with a propane torch. Been there done that with scope ring screws….Quote:

Son of gun, mines left hand thread.
