HW45 questions

Possibly you had a pre-mature spring breakage. It's not common to hear about breakage in only a couple thousand shots but flaws happen.

Maybe try some moly paste in the cocking slots and then shoot some pellets to splatter the lube inside the tube. This will tell you if the problem is lack of lube. If not, then I would suspect the health of the spring.

I tried to coax some Moly grease through the cocking slot not very successful. However it has dampened it down a tad am now looking at the trigger setting.
