If the cocking shoe is in backwards, there will be no free play in the barrel and cocking link...so if it feels like it is tight to cock from the very start of the cocking stroke, i.e. the barrel does not drop away when the barrel catch is released, so it must be acting on the piston straight away....then the chances are that the cocking link has been put in backwards - with the lug towards the back of the gun...if so then it should be the other way so that the cocking shoe sits over the rear end of the piston...you may even be able to see in through the cocking slot if this is so...a simple fix if it is, take it out and turn it around so that the lug is towards the front of the gun.
Hi Dave,
Still have the large cardboard box filled with 'goodies'. Nothing has been removed.
If all is back to normal, and you want them back, please let me know. Failing health means that they will have to go
into storage otherwise.
