My GSSW just quit cocking when I broke the barrel down to load another pellet. How can I fix that?

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

Mine was just out of warranty when this happened and I had to send it back and pay for the repair. The rear sight was broken when I got it back.

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.

Make sure the gun is disconnected and then it just pushes on the end. You need to put a little muscle behind it but it goes on nicely.

You have to cock it each time. The one i ordered did not work plastic pellets jamed in barrel every time i trried to fire it.

This is a single shot, bolt action pellet pistol so one shot then you have to pull the bolt back to cock and load the pistol. You could in theory stuff in more pellets but doing so could cause failures in the pistol as the pellets could become stuck in the barrel and create excess back pressure making seals fail and leak CO2.

I think you are asking if the barrel breaks down, the answer is yes. To cock the gun you must pull the barrel down to load it and to cock it.

When you pull the cocking lever all the way down, the chamber/receiver is exposed. It will only hold and fire one pellet at a time. Then you will have to go through the cocking loading steps again. I chose this air rifle because what it lacks in convenience as a repeater, it makes up for in accuracy which was my biggest concern. If you will do more plinking and fun shooting, a repeater with a multi round magazine would be a better choice. I'm using this for pest removal and single shot works for me. Biggest feaure for me is that this is NOT a break barrel, which suffer accuracy drawbacks. The barrel is fixed and one solid piece.

That means that there is BBS jammed inside the bolt, I had the same problem and I returned the gun for a refund. You could try disassemble the gun and try to unjam it. Try using the UN jamming rod. if it dosen't work try contacting the company or amazon for a refund. This happened to me the first time I used it thought it was a defective gun but maybe they aren't made good.

Check if you got any bbs stuck in there. Make sure you have the mag in all the way. Sometimes the blow back makes the mag fall out just a bit and that'll make a bb caught in the gun

Maybe some of the ammo is jammed? You should play with it unloaded first to get the whole system used to working

Same thing happened to me on first try. Call Barnett and they will send you a new spool properlywound with new cord. Be sure to loop new replacement cord to rear of stock frame before cocking.

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

Are you putting a drop of gun oil on the co2 cartridge as suggested in the owners manual? 2nd does this usually happen right after you putas new ccartridge in? Mine does for some reason. I shoot emptying twice after putting in a new cartridge. That seems to help. It sounds stupid but make sure the pellets aren't in backwards.

There is a little switch underneath the hatch where the BBs are loaded. Check to see if that switch was accidentally turned to 'off'. If that doesn't work, there may be a jam in the gun mechanism and you may have to carefully take the tank apart to reach the gun.

Break barrel action- so the barrel snaps down and u put one pellet in at a time then u snap the barrel back up and it's ready to go

I shot them out of my barnett jackal, and 2 of them just bent after the second firing. Maybe it's just badluck/lemon, but it's a no for me.

On a striker fired pistol you need to rack the slide after every test shot. Have the same issue with my Ruger SR45, but not my 1911!
