I just bought a pair of these. One gun has "wiggly" cocking arms and the other gun's cocking arms are very rigid. The fore end will go on on the wiggly cocking rod gun but not the other. I tried cocking it on a block of wood the way you cock a Winchester 21 whose triggers were pulled with the fore end off. I couldn't budge it. Does this mechanism operate differently than a 21? How do you cock this one?
I tried to cock the ejectors in the fore end, but no go. The firing pins are protruding so the mainsprings aren't cocked. I can't get the cocking rods to move even a little bit. Any ideas?

Vol423,
These guns are out of my price range so I have no experience with them, but it occurs to me that if you take the stock off you might be able to cock the hammers one at a time by hand. Failing that, you might see what the problem is (maybe broken sears won't hold the hammers back). Good luck.

I'm not going to take it apart. If I cant figure it out, I'll send it to someone.

Vol423,
It is your gun, not mine. To quote the great Hondo Lane "a man has to do what he thinks is best".
