    Help with cocking mechanism Archived Message

    Posted by Peter M. Burke on March 26, 2008, 5:11 pm

    I recently got a 1913 field grade 20 gauge ejector gun. The left cocking lifter was broken and I replaced it. Now the right lock will not cock. I can cock it manualy but opening the barrels will not cock it. The left side cocking rod now sticks out a little further than the right. Could this be a wear issue on the right lifter? Should I replace the right lifter? Any advice appreciated. Peter
