Airsporter problem

[Joseph J]

Hi all, I have a problem with an airsporter. It won,t cock and Iv,e tried to access the spring/piston by unscrewing the end plug. It,s stuck fast and won,t budge. Any suggestions?

Hold the breach in soft jaws in a vice, apply heat to the end plug then use the hole in the trigger unit to put a lever through and gently unscrew it, common problem. If you still cant do it then join the AGF and see if someone local will do it for you.

The usual problem with Airsporters not cocking is the sear/trigger spring.

As above, if it's going right back in cocking stroke.

if it's not moveing, more likely your piston head tight🙄
