Cocking Block for 1940 Field Grade Archived Message
Posted by Ed Livezey on May 3, 2017, 11:32 am
I recently came into possession of a Field Grade 12 Gauge but was told it's a wall hanger because it doesn't cock. Brought it along with me to the SxS Classic in Sanford, NC last week and with the help of a number of people (Frank, Dave and others), it was determined that the cocking block and screw are missing. They suggested I post a message to this forum to see if anyone knows of a source for the parts. Failing that, does anyone have specs that I could take to a gunsmith to have the part made or is it so simple that they aren't needed? This is a "Lightweight" model if that makes any difference.
After the warm welcome I received at the SxS Classic, I decided to become a member of the LCS Collectors Assoc and am looking forward to learning more about L.C.Smith shotguns.
