arichmond64 Posted October 9, 2007 Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 i was shooting my gun fine, then all of a sudden the pellets were simply not hittin the target, and i mean, from 20 yards away they couldnt hit a 20cm square piece of card. after a few shots i noticed something when i cocked it, then all of a sudden it wouldnt cock, asiff the thing which catches it at the bottom of the cocking motion was gone, it just goes down and back up, so i cnt cock or shoot. nothing at all! this happened to any one, or what should i do?

njc110381 Posted October 9, 2007 Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 Sounds nasty to me. I'd get a gunsmith to look at it. It could be something as minor as a broken spring jamming somewhere so that the sears can't engage when you break the barrel. Is it still as hard to pull the barrel down or does it feel easier since this happened? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arichmond64 Posted October 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 nop, its still as hard as it was, no ease in it, just simple doesnt catch on anything wen u snap it down, and, when you let it come back up you hear it click, at the point were it would normally snap in, if you say what i mean, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arichmond64 Posted October 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 well i havnt tried to fire it with safety, but you think i should try adjusting the trigger screw?:blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berettaman1 Posted October 9, 2007 Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 well i havnt tried to fire it with safety, but you think i should try adjusting the trigger screw?:blink: yes of course, try screwing it out about 3 to 4 turns, if it will still not cock then drop it off the stock and have a look, as suggested in earlier reply might have a spring coil snapped off, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arichmond64 Posted October 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 just had the stock off, and from looking at the barrel, you can see the point in which it is supposed to catch and stay in place, but it looks asiff it slips of, or the piece of metal is not getting enough on it to keep it in place. and there is no trigger screw to adjust. i have no idea!

soreshoulder Posted October 9, 2007 Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 i had a problem with my xl, when i cocked it - the barrel was light as if it was cocked but it wouldnt fire., all i did was cock it again and pull it back as far as i could and it fired because it just didnt properly cock if you get what i mean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njc110381 Posted October 15, 2007 Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 If you bought it from a dealer then just take it back. That sort of thing shouldn't happen. Did you buy it new or second hand? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you mean Blackpool Air Rifles give them a ring and explain the situation. They are a VERY reputable comany and whether the gun is new or s/h I think you will find that they will deal with your request in a courteous and efficient manner and most certainly within their responsibilities and very often, much better.
