There is a tool available specifically for cocking a Smith. I bought one for $19 from someone online. You need one if you are going to use the gun. They are made for one job and do it well. I will see if I can find the address.

The tool can be purchased here, but will not work with the barrels in place

A flathead screw driver works fine too. Or the small box end wrench as shown in the previous photos.

I’m utterly surprised no one’s mentioned the two most obvious options . The first and more difficult would be to have Mr.Mitchell of LC Smith acclaim talk you through the fix . Or the second and far easier option , make a tomato stake out of it
