Had this thing for close to two years now and finally decided to order some parts to tweak it and get it shooting, should be fun

Planning to keep it as a hornet or ream to k-hornet?
The 22 Hornet is a fun little gun. That is sweet. What is the problem with the hammer on the gun now ?
Noting really , works as it's supposed to from the factory but with that, 5lbs trigger pull and the process to do a trigger job with the factory system is ...a pain to say the least. These rebounding hammers let you do a really nice trigger job and you get rid of like 60% of the "guts"

Put a good scope on that and you'll have an excellent varmint gun. Do you have ground hogs where you live? If not, pretend that raccoons and possums are just "tree ground hogs". If you later decide to put a reamer into it and convert to 22 K-Hornet, the main attraction for that (besides the velocity gain) is that K-Hornet cases generally last longer than Hornet cases because they headspace off the shoulder instead of the rim. Nice rifle, looks like fun.
You're having ALL the fun lately!!! Depending on expense for you locally, and your mechanics skills, I would consider having I changed to a khornet. Had the opportunity to fire an older friends years ago and have always been looking for one, but cost for me locally has been prohibitive.

Winchester brass, Lil gun powder,rem 7 1/2 primers,and hornady 35 gr vmax you'll be all set.
If you don't mind me asking, where did you find the parts? Numrich?
Never mind, found it,

Okay, how about a link to those parts, please?
I wish someone would resurrect the NEF/H&R line like Ruger is doing for Marlin.
Plus one on the rebounding hammer!
The transfer bar is a solution with no problem to solve in my opinion.
In that break open action, just size the case enough to hold the bullet correctly and the brass will last longer.
Some folks prefer to use small pistol primers.

Looks like you’ll have fun with that! I got rid of mine when I got into Contenders. I had good luck with 2400, lil gun and 4227. I got pressure signs(hard to open action , flattened primers) with 296. Have fun but beware of the fearsome recoil,!Tim
There’s a guy on GBO that makes brass fittings for those that will look good with that gold hammer!
When you convert it to rebounding hammer, would you mind doing a thread on it?
Yes to what TBG said, I've got a .410 that had a broken transfer bar that's giving me trouble still, new transfer bar drops too soon so hammer barely hits the firing pin, changing to rebounding would solve the problem I believe.

Funny I just tried to get a buddy to part with the same gun with no luck. I love me some single shot fun. Looks like you have plenty of wood if you choose to give it a sanding and refinish the stock. Those guns just feel so right when you pull them up and shoulder them.
Stop being blinded by your own ignorance.
Wolf dog I forgot to mention don't use that 35 gr vmax on anything you want to go to the taxidermist. It's icky on the way out.
