Spoke to Ben T sorted the slightly sticky underlever. Shooting like a dream.

As an aside, would a .177 seven shot mag fit the FT Model.

That is a stunning rifle, I always wanted one just didn't have the funds to buy one at the time they were available for sale.
But during this lock down I came across a load of Theoben makers leaflets, which feature this rifle, if you would like it to go with your rifle ? pm me your details and I'll pop it in the post to you.

A few people have mentioned that when loading a pellet into the pellet loader, it can fall through into the mechanism. I understand that if you cock the rifle and bring the probe back into the edge of the pellet loader, the pellet can't fall through and you then only have a few inches left to close the underleaver. Seems like an easy and safe thing to do.
What you say is perfectly true - if you remember to do that each time! If you don't bring the probe right up to the tray, then the pellet can fall back. If you bring the probe up too far then you can't load the pellet.
With this design you only have to be unlucky once, so only for the careful!
i bought a 3D printed single shot tray for my slr88. works perfect and seals the back end to stop pellets dropping back in to the cylinder. much better than the original theoben single shot tray by far. and better for shooting down the range with it. should fit the FT;s to id have thought.
