Making a gun safe for display???

Andy,
I agree with Brian's suggestion. The cocking hook is located on the front lug on the barrels flats. One screw through it from the side. Challenge may be getting the screw out. Well fitted screw driver is in order to avoid messing it up. A little Kroil or other penetrating oil on both sides and letting it soak a bit. Would be good if you have a padded vice to hold the barrels. Once the screw is out, the hook should come free with a little wiggling. There will be a pin/spring behind it, make sure to take it out. Put the screw back in and store the hook/pin-sping assembly separately.
