Ultrastu Posted March 12, 2019 Report Share Posted March 12, 2019 It when metal rubbs on metal and wears a grouve damaging the parts . Grease is only a temp sloution . Silicone lube can actually make it worse . My lightening sufferes from it a bit on the cocking link Same place as the hw 99 (common issue ) Get some disulphide greese on it first Its often enough to keep the issue at bay .but if left can get worse and greese wont help much .

Iggy Posted March 12, 2019 Report Share Posted March 12, 2019 Few guys over on the Airgun Forum who could sort it out for you if you dont want to tackle it yourself....Blackmax is a good place to start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldypigeonpopper Posted March 12, 2019 Report Share Posted March 12, 2019 hello, sounds like it needs a service, not to difficult to do, look on u tube stripping down a HW 99 by nick stanning who is tinbum tuning kits, get a spring clamp and one of his kits or google TbT tune kits, he has people around the UK fitting them so might be someone near you, good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ditchman Posted March 12, 2019 Report Share Posted March 12, 2019 if it is the cocking lever............on some other english air rifles you have what is called "a slipper plate"...can be made out of steel or brass...........it is often the case that this piece is lost when people fiddle about with a gun.........check the drawings that you are not missing it.........

Ultrastu Posted March 13, 2019 Report Share Posted March 13, 2019 (edited) No the correct word is galling Edited March 13, 2019 by Ultrastu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted March 13, 2019 Report Share Posted March 13, 2019 Galling when two metals under load cold weld and year apart. Stainless steel threads are a nightmare so is aluminium. Polishing the surfaces and using good lube can help short term. Brazing/tinning the surface of the moving part with brass and filing back would work.if no slipper plate can be had.
