Here it is. A small turn anticlockwise allows you to slide back the probe so that a pellet can be loaded into the breach - the probe is then pushed forward and the knurled ring turned clockwise to lock the mechanism.
Takes longer to describe than to do!

Oh, THAT! Yes, I remember doing that with Target Bunny's pistol, when we were there for the match in 2009. You're right: it wasn't that hard to do!

Only winding you up Ian.
I enjoyed shooting my EB so much that said knurled knob did get to my finger and thumb after a long session.
Grip is better but on balance I prefer the smooth knob on my Crosman 150 and of course my delicate hands are unused to manual labour
