I wouldn't use vise grips though. I have used methods two and three on the link I posted. |

You just need to re cock the hammers. There is a special tool that can be purchased for this job. But I have always just used a flat head screw driver. The first one is easier I coco this way than the second, but you can do it without too much trouble. Put it In between the cocking came and lift up on one using the other as the leverage point. Lift up until the hammer clicks as cocked. Then repeat for the other side.

L C Smith tool
Dennis,
Go to the Smith collector website. http://lcsmith.org/ Scroll down the right hand side of the homepage and click on LC Smith tool. It is made of stainless steel and is well finished for $10. Can't beat it. Joe |

Gentlemen I thank you one and all. After seeing the referred to site I remembered seeing it before. I was able to recock the hammers. Very easily done. I think I possibly purchased one of the specific L. C. Smith tools a couple of years ago and put it aside for the possibility I might need it one day. If I did I can't find it now. At any rate I may buy another one just in case. Again I thank you all. I knew I would get help from the experts on this forum.

I'd bet there have been a lot of inherited LC Smiths, over the years, sold off real cheap, or given away due to this issue. |
