I have just bought an Anschutz SuperAir 2001 SSP rifle and when I unpacked it and tried it I found a few problems. The major one makes it impossible/ dangerous to shoot.
Safety off. Push the cocking lever fully forward to cock it. When the rifle is cocked, the breech opens properly, pull back the cocking lever to charge it, put in pellet, pull back breech lever, release, breech closes.
Pull trigger, click, nothing happens.
Open cocking lever, when it is at about 45 degrees the gun fires.
The option of returning the rifle is off the table, private vendor who is emphatic that it was ok when he sent it.
Does anyone have any genuine experience of this rifle and this issue that can point me in the direction of what is wrong and how to fix it?
