jcf1 Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 When you say nothing happens - what do you mean? Is it just failing to feed a pellet, and just firing air or is the hammer not actually being thrown forward? If its the former then its likely that your magazine isn't indexing, and it needs the little centre screw loosening a bit, or a good clean and oil. If its the latter it could be that you are not firmly pulling the bolt back, or that the trigger sear isn't holding the hammer back. A bit more detail may help.

jcf1 Posted August 19, 2009 Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 (edited) No pm recieved, but If the hammer isn't being released, then its probably not engaging at all - are you sure you are firmly and completely pulling the bolt back? Been a while since I owned a rapid and I can't for the life of me remember how it assembles.... If its anti-tamper then you're probably best taking it to theoben/a gunsmith anyway The mk I was a lot easier to sort.
