I have a Bonehill Belmont Interchangeable BLNE that will at present only cock if held upside down (Australian Export model?).

Cocking is by hook forming part of rear lump engaging front of central tab of two armed cocking dog.

When held the right way up it falls out of engagement.

Should it, when assembled, at all times engage the hook on the bottom of the rear lump, or is it missing a spring to hold it up to engage?

Merry Christmas everyone!

SKB, it does look like a spring “e” in that diagram but it appears to press the cocking dog down whereas my problem is that when held the right way up it falls down out of engagement.

I have managed to source another cocking dog (they are meant to be “Interchangeable”) and I just need to grit my teeth, clear the top of my work bench, and strip it down and find out
