It is generally accepted that this is just standard, basically you need to yank the cocking lever with force to cock the gun. However not everyone has the same issues and I’ve used TX and Prosport that you can cock gently and with ease. Clearly manufacturing tollerances at Air Arms are not very consistent. I’ve simply learnt to live with the fact that my safety doesn’t engage every cocking cycle and therefore not to rely on it. If you can get over that then you will still have a beautiful rifle that shoots incredibly well.
Just get a precision made steel spring guide
