De cocking HW77

[tinbum]

The anti beartrap isn't All it does is stop the trigger working while the lever is back, if the trigger were to fail you would still lose your fingers if not holding the lever. I remove it on mine as I like to be able to safely decock the rifle. But then again, I never let go of the cocking arm.


And still wince when my thumbs in there!

Put a bit of wood in there every time.

It does have a ABT fitted which I suspected may prevent de cocking.

I'm not sticking my wood anywhere near there!!




Good idea young Phil, and something I've often thought of doing but never actually done.

After I stripped it and re assembled the gun I thought I'd messed up On the assembly. I committed a deadly sin as I had no where to fire it safely and had to dry fire😱

Yes sorry buddy, The argos catalogue are good for back stops. The phone book is a lot smaller these days.

Now I'm with you 👍👍
Hopefully no problems have come from dry firing it, I've fired it since and it worked

[TonyL]

A single dry fire will not have hurt it.

Although it's something that I would also rather not try, a while ago Jim Tyler did some dry fire testing to investigate recoil, surge and transfer port choking on one or two of his long-suffering rifles, with no detriment.

Don't do it! I was firing into an argos catalogue in December. It scares the living daylights out of their staff and customers

The catalogue which is useful as a pellet stop, just put in on the ground (mind yer feet obviously) Yep the only thing in store that's free. (Apart from the little pencils, if they still use them?)

Really?? Hmmm... No, no I must resist, after all of those little pencils I've had over the years I'm surprised they've not barred me
