This rifle gets great reviews, but I've gotten two (a 17 and a 22) that creak when cocked, Is this normal, will it go away with use, what causes this?

I don't know what makes your rifles creak but mine is a 22 and it never did that. If there is a Bass Pro store nearby, they have maintenance services for airguns, at least at the one near my house, or someone who services airguns could maybe help you with this.

Mine does not creak. Are they new?? Maybe they need lube on pivot points. Do not use oil/lube in the compression area as a special lube has to be used there. Reason.. the oil diesels and can damage seals/parts. Contact RWS/seller if they are new for service or help.

Mine doesn't do this but it may have when new and I may have applied a bit of gun oil.

That's a common concern with RWS rifles. It's from a lack of lube on the seal in the compression chamber. Purchase some RWS chamber lube. It's available from Amazon. Expensive, but absolutely necessary. Only takes a few drops. Google it, there's some videos available online that show minor maintenance of these rifles.

Hey, sorry to hear that, mine does not make any noise to be concerned. About although it's not dead silent. In your case just call muted, there customer support is outstanding, Not exactly sure what you definition of a creak is. But if it is bad enough to cause concern. Call the manufacturer. They will get in all taken care of But remember you are compressing a spring so that may be what your hearing

I have been shooting mine with a 1100 fps pellet gun. It makes a noise and swings some, but doesn't make it swing up all the way requiring a shot to reset.

Skip it joe, I put one one mine and they fall apart. Get a ported kit if you want decrease recoil.

I bought this one for my dad, but I have 2 others for my Smith & Wesson and my Beretta, and neither one of these needs any lubrication to work perfectly. Have you tried this loader with more than one type of ammo?I would instect the feed ramps for and burrs or imperfections, short of that or the ammo being the problem, I would send it back and get a replacement item. All mine work great and my dad says his works great, you may just have a bad one.Sorry, I hope this helps.Taylor

Did you make sure you tightened the TLR on the left side of the weapon. This tightens the TLR so it does not move while it's attached to the weapon. If you did not this is what's causing the problem.

I would check to make sure there is not a pellet jammed or a piece smashed in the barrel break. otherwise i have no other suggestions but to call gamo.The gun may already be cocked, so just dry fire it once and see. I have never had this problem. good luck

Its possible you may have stripped the threads , you could take it apart and check , I have about 50 rounds through mine without that issue.

I'm sorry. We are happy with the air rifle and don't want another one, so I can't help you. If others suggest getting "another",I would ask "them" what they recommend. Thanks.

Return it. Mine had the same problem. Its got a crappy hopup bucking that I had to change. This is a beginners airsoft weapon for casual play. Its also way overpriced. I bought the exact same one on amazon for under a hundred bucks. Anything over that and you're getting ripped off. And NEVER USE BBS LIGHTER THAN .20! it will damage your weapon.

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

I haven't used the rifle too much yet, but there shouldn't be too much maintenance. Wiping the gun down after shhoting with a cleaan rag and gun oil will keep the gun looking good for years to come. Occationally lubing the pivot point and chamber as instructed should keep the rifle functioning well. This should just be a few drops every few thousand shots, too much oil will lead to detonations and reduce the rifle life.

I have used a .22 on it and it dents it. But if u dont mind the dents it holds up very well.

The squeaking is relatively normal. It should smooth out the more you use it, and subsequently squeak less. As for the .02mm increments, this is abnormal.

with or without the scope? If it was with the scope then check the tightness of the pivot fit/cocking barrel. Check the ammo, is it misshapen? Not balanced?

My .22 cal pellet gun probably has more recoil than your 17 or 22 mag. I have had no issues with it at all.

Have an M 14 M1A1 in .308. . Never had a problem with "rattle off" after 500 + rounds. Holds "0" with no problem. Hope this helps.

I have it mounted on a AR so the recoil isn't as bad as a shotgun. I did drop a couple fimes already and it still worked. For $25 Its ok. I am planning on getting a higher end one eventually but for now it serves it purpose. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful
