It will be difficult to cock both the left and right ejector hammers at the same time. Just cock one at a time. With a hardwood dowell and with the point of the forend firmly braced against your belly and the ejector hammers up, using the end of the dowell force one hammer back into the recess in the iron until it clicks locked in. Then repeat the process with the other one. If one or the other... or both will not stay cocked, you will need to send it to a qualified gunsmith with extensive experience with Parkers.
