Air arms mistral (jackal) trigger problem

[ianbobo1]

Hi there does anyone have a tripdown guide or help of some sort regarding the trigger mechanism
the trigger was working before i serviced this rifle but now ive put it back together but the trigger is not working
i put everything back as it came out as far as i can tell but the piston just seems to stick halfway through cocking basically where the piston hits the first sear
im just scratching my head over this one
i have removed the bear trap mechanism while i figure this out so its not the safety ratchet
any help would be much apreciated thanks

is the trigger cocked ?

check the leaf springs, sometimes just taking the trigger group out and refitting resolves the problem, see chambers site for a diagram - also check that there aren't any burrs or nicks in the cocking slot causing the jam...

HI I solved this thanks.. It was a case of the sear which engages the trigger blade was in slightly the wrong position again thanks

Hey hey ... welcome to the club! The first time I put one together it took me ages as it seemed to all go back so easily ... but it failed. Then I had lunch, had another look, tried again and it was fine ....
Cheers, Phil
