Gents, I lost my cocking tool (no smart-ass comments, please). looked on the Internet and frankly don't trust what I see. It is for a 410-field grade double, beautifully refinished and reconditioned by Griffith and Howe, up the pike from me in NJ. I vaguely remember from an ancient thread on this board that one can use a particular size box wrench to do the job. That might work, but I would rather get something more amenable to this purpose. Any suggestions from a reliable provider would be appreciated.

An open end wrench that fits the cocking crank is in my experience easier on you and the gun. Parallel jaw pliers or a screwdriver can be used also. You can also take the locks off and cock the hammers on the edge of a bench.

For the interested, there are images of various cocking techniques, including with Mark's wrench under "Disassembly and Reassembly" in the LCSCA FAQs
https://lcsca.clubexpress.com/content.aspx?page_id=274&club_id=43784

The cocking arms is tuned DOWN to cock the hammer. I would suggest wrapping the wrench with electrical tape.

The one on eBay is very well made. I just ordered one but recieved two because the first was lost in the mail, then appeared a month after the replacement.

I always just pulled the lock and cocked the hammer.
