Air Arms Camargue tap loader

[45flint]

the safety ratchet is simply removed

the later AA models that were claimed to be 'much improved' simply had a fat rubber oring on one of the pins to reduce the noise of the safety ratchet as it operates on cocking..

Not sure anyone would care but in taking the stock off and looking at the AA parts diagrams it is easy to see that my ratchet was simply disabled by reassembling with the spring underneath pushing it out of the way. I could change it but I hate the clicking sound and don’t see the safety issues? If the sear fails it’s a tap loader? There is little difference cocking this or my prewar BSA? You instantly return the arm after cocking? Can’t see adding back the noise? Am I missing something? Lawyers can screw up nice designs?
