Does the safety button engage when you cock it?
Same here old barn.... I am mostly into the open sight collecting springer stuff. At a general household auction a couple of years ago, I could not resist bidding on a scoped Mk3 TX200HC in very good condition and won it at a very low price.

First time out to try it at the club, could not cock it, I thought little wonder it went cheap... Passed it on to one of the members, cocked it first time and every time. Passed it back to me saying I need more protein in my diet...Duh.
