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 too thought my barrel was jammed with Bb's, but it ended up being the following.... http://www.patrolbase.co.uk/blog/king-arms-thompson-anti-reversal-fault/

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!

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

There's a rubber retainer on one end that keeps the pellets from falling out. I just push the slide until the pellet sticks out halfway, then I load it in the gun while while pushing the slide, using the next pellet too push

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.

The barrel has rifling so the pellet has spin as it leaves the end of the barrel. I was able to determine this by shining a bright light into the barrel in the cocking position.

You are one of the lucky ones. Evidently the one we received from Amazon had been returned to them and then they sold it again. We have had nothing but problems with the gun. In our opinion it is not worth the money spent. We have tried everything anyone suggested: new scope, better mounts, tried 5 different pellets and even resorted to sending it back to GAMO and they returned it working the same as prior to sending it back. Good luck with yours.

This is a single pump break barrel design. The barrel requires about 30lbs of pressure to cock the rifle.

There is a threaded hole near the bottom of the barrel; you need to buy a sillcock at any hardware store and screw it into the hole.

I had a similar problem once, I unjammed it by removing the top part of the gun, pulling the part that slams the Bb's all the way back, and using an unbent paperclip to remove any obstacles in the barrel.

A couple of drops of Silicone Chamber Oil in the small chamber oppisite from where the pellets are placed, well keep the piston and seal properly serviced. This should be done after 1,000 or 1,500 pellets are fired through the rifle, but avoid over lubercation, because it will cause inaccuracy in the weapon by saturating the barrel with oil. Do not continuiously clean and oil the weapon. This practice is unecessary, and will adversly affect weapon accuracy and performance. When all else fails, read your weapon manual, and follow the manufacturers maintenance guidance.

I checked the dovetail on the gun and it appears to be level so what I did is take the movable clamp on the sight off. Then I carefully filed the bottom making sure I kept it flat on the file. I did this a little at a time reinstalling it and testing until the cant was gone. The sight is a nice sight is nice but a better mount and adjustment arrows would have been nice.

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.

You might be low on co2..did you put pelloil on the co2 cartridge? mine does that when its on a "last gasp" of gas pressure. if you stored it over night, after shooting 5 shots.. you have a leak somewhere.. if you used the pelloil, or you did not set the cartridge...perfect straight.. hope this helps..after 12k thousand rounds! yikes the original finally quit.. slide locked open, so i got another..at 3k rounds..perfect!

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.

I have shot many pellets through mine without any problems. Maybe there is a pellet stuck in the barrel? Not sure what the return policy is, but if you can't get it open returning may be the best option.
