Why can't I get it to cock?

If you go to Youtube and enter this into the search box you should find all you need to know about the gun. Benjamin Trail NP XL - .22 cal Gas Ram "ultra magnum" (At least that is what I call it..!)

Is the rifle new? The reason I ask that is because if someone else owned it they might have put in a longer trigger adjustment screw and if you turn that to far clockwise it will cause the rifle not to cock because it will not let the sear make contact with the trigger. Just for the heck of it screw the trigger adjusting screw out counter clockwise. remember how man turns you made so if that is not it you can put it back like it was. Dutch

Are you breaking the barrel and pushing it downward until it will go no further? It should lock the piston or cock it when the barrel gets to about a 45 degree angle to the stock of gun. If you are pushing it down that far and it's not locking the piston into place then the gun has a defect.

It takes a lot of force to cock this gun. It has got to go all the way down. If that's not the problem I would call benjamin

Hi. You have to press it pretty firmly into the socket. I was a bit cautious with that myself. Line it up and press it straight in.maybe turn as you press.

Cock it, then push the bottom part of the front into the gun, and put the bb's in the square hole. :) have fun!

Yes, it can be hard for my 8 year old to cock it. I suggest one of the bows, or a pistols with the ring they can grab to cock it.

I have a 200w and cannot, cannot, get the ball into the mount. very frustrating. Going to try the sock trick.

That takes a different type of crank cocking device which mounts on the side of the butt once you pop off the cheek rest. If you're adventurous and like this particular cocker, check and see if there are two pre-drilled holes on the back of the butt to mount this cocker. If youre handy you may be able to drill your own to mount it, but make sure you do it right. the other cocker would be easier to install without modifications.

You have to be rough when you cock it. Otherwise, it gets jammed most of the time. The problem is that when you cock it, if you do it lightly, the gun thinks that it needs another bullet to fire. Thusly, smooshing one bullet into another. Also, if the gun isn't roughly cocked, then you'll notice that the cocking lever will not return to it's natural state (towards the front of the gun) until the bullet is removed or sometimes you can roughly recock it and it'll unjam (doing that risks smooshing the next bullet).

No and I wouldn't also recommend buying this because it is completely impossible to cock, I returned it and ordered another one to make sure, still impossible. I have a lot of experience with airsoft, if I can't cock it, its crap

if you turned the 'squeezing' nut too much were the whole assembley turns you will never get it tight. you get one try at it then you have to back off the nut and drill out bad nutsert an try again with another there is no going back . you might find another one at a hardware store or email dee zee for another . good luck they are tricky!!!!

Pretty tough to cock. I use both hands to do it. I can do it with one, with a lot of effort, but two makes it so much more easy. I sit the butt end on the ground and cock it towards me. Give the tip of the barrel a sharp rap with the palm of your hand to make it break initially. Then cock it. I am 65 years old, but still pretty stout. The manual says about 45 pounds; I believe it. If you are in fair physical condition, you can manage it though. It is as accurate as the shooter. No problem for me out to about 35 yards; beyond that, my shooting skills are not so good. Shoot heavy round nose pellets, and practice, practice, practice! The gun is better than I am. Anyhow, shooting a pellet gun beyond 50 yards is not what it is made for; this is a fairly close range weapon; it's an airgun shooting little pellets, for Christ sakes, not a rifle shooting bullets. That's the fun of it - sneaking up on your quarry and making a quiet killing shot. If you want to shoot something 75 to 100 yards away, use a rifle.

Same as cocking be sure to have a decent size hole at the end but not to big. It will come out fast and make a mess.use a cocking gun to apply .but overall product worked awesome for me.hope this was helpful.
