All variants recock if you like when you load.

On the 602/3 & P70 it is important to make sure the loading flap is as far back as possible otherwise the absorber may not reset properly, don't assume by cocking the rifle the loading flap is all the way back, they have a tenancy to stick at times especially if the absorber is not set correctly.

Thanks again - I am all knowledged-up now about the "tubular thingy" on the side of my 603 and will treat it with the respect this technology deserves.

I am actually quite impressed - and genuinely appreciate the technical answers and tips.
