Bit of a random find, I prefer channels like taofledermaus where they know what they're doing.
First this guy shoots the gun Dry and then he then goes on to cock the gun as far as the ABT then load without holding the lever and then fully cocks the gun so he can release the ABT, I just wonder how many other airgunners over the world use springers like this guy, I'm not sure that it is that rare. Am I wrong about this? opinions please

Haven't watched the video, Barry, having gained the general idea from your text. I think I'd find it far too cringeworthy. Unfortunately, they live amongst us and many are just an accident waiting to happen. And it's down to us safe and responsible users to educate them wherever possible.

The Guy is a dangerous idiot who known nothing about air rifles. Unfortunately he seems to have a following.

His part of the world isn't exactly well known for Health & Safety standards in anything though is it.
I note his finger was hovering around the trigger the whole time as well.
Some top weapon handling there. Even starts prodding around the breach at one point. His fingers aren't long for this world 😂
Only a problem with 1 style of breech though. Those of us who still use tap loaders or rotary breech models don't have that problem
Must admit though, his index finger positioning had me cringing.
I have many underlevers but the only one that gives me the shivers is my FWB300s. Beautiful gun, crap loading system that is really awkward to use.
Everyone give him a dislike.
We need to discourage these people from posting on YouTube.
Don't suppose anyone remembers the video by John Darling where he was cocking an 80 and letting go of the barrel before loading?

Hmmm, bit of an idiot and set to become a member of the Darwin Club.
Did I see him cock the rifle then have to pull the u/l again? And he hit a big plastic bottle. Whoopee.
Simple things please ....

Yes he seem to be cocking and loading in two stages, first struggle to get the lever to the ABT then load a pellet without holding the lever then finish cocking the gun so he could return the lever, so he was putting his fingers in the breech with just the ABT holding the cylinder and that gun does not have a independent ABT like the TX and 52 it works of the linkage.
