    Original 75 help please

    I've just been doing a little bell target practice with my original 75.
    I had just cocked and loaded it when I got disturbed with a phone call.
    After the call I had forgot that I had loaded it and I re cocked it, big mistake, now the arm won't return. Any ideas how to get round this?

    Have you tried holding the arm and pulling the trigger ? I’m not suggesting you do this , just asking.

    It just needed a little more pressure on the arm to reset the anti bear trap mechanism, and then the arm returned as normal.
    I think it was just me being a little cautious of forcing it and breaking something.

    As above.

    Did you hit it with a hammer?
