I just received this gun. although I really like it but Iam not strong enough to cock it. Is there any way to loosen the spring? thanks

Unfortunately not. If you can manage to safely take it apart, you'd have to REPLACE the spring with a similar size but weaker tension.

You pull back the lever, which is the pole under the barrel and then a hole is revealed on the top of the gun as you cock it. Put a pellet inside the hole and push the lever back into place. This gun is quite frustrating to use but can pay back with its amazing fire power. Here is a helpful video I have made to help beginners: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pMCVBLcXjB8

I'd suggest checking to ensure all screws are tight, cleaning the barrel and (if those don't resolve the issue) replace the scope. Airguns are notoriously hard on scopes because of the unusual recoil pattern. I'm also going to be replacing my trigger. Probably not the reason for your CHANGE in performance but a better trigger is definitely needed on this gun.

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.

When the rifle is cocked (by pulling down on the lever under the barrel), the breech opens up allowing a pellet to be inserted from the top. A word of caution: The spring is very powerful, so be sure to maintain a tight grip on the cocking lever while loading in case the action accidentally slams shut. This has never happened to me, but I have heard that it can happen, and that would be very painful.

I would suggest when you knock the pin out of the rear sight check it good because i was told there are some that are solderes in. You still have to be careful once you knock out pin there is aheavy piece of spring steel underneath because nothing is made light on this rifleI would suggest that you use epoxy or liquid steel when you set it in then put the screws in it will loosen up on you after about 25 shots or so it is acheap set up and you get what you pay for.

No flexing detected (read; crazy accurate). However, after firing several hundred rounds, it came loose and started to wiggle. I should have used thread lock to begin with. Now that I have re-tightened and put thread lock on, it's back to awesome for good!

Make sure you press the button, the same button you used to insert the barrel. You do have to pull pretty hard.

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!

You have the mag wound up too tight. Dont use WD40 because that will make more issues than it will solve. Silicone lubricants are the best for airsoft guns, but your issue is that there is too much tension on the mag. Always clear the mag out with the tab on top when you are done playing so you dont wear out the springs inside, and only use as much tension as you need to when turning the feeding gear. I have fully dismantled this gun and put it back together, and it isnt so complicated that you need a tech to do it for you. Also low quality BBs will make issues for you. I reccommend .12 for indoors and .20 for outdoors, find a name brand BB manufacturer it will save you money in the long run. You have the mag wound up too tight.

Yea, I have had this problem, but it's not bad for me. The gun still works fine and the stalk is still on the gun. So it's not a big problem. Just put some super glue on it and put tape around the stalk and that will solve your problem.

I am not sure of your problem, I have had no real problem other than if I am not careful the BB's blow out of it if I do not hang on to the release and let it down slowly.once in the gun, I have had no problems, using it in two different types of crossman pistols

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.

Put a drop of oil on the tip of the cartridge. Insert into the gun(?) then tighten the screw until it just touches the cartridge (you will feel the resistance). Then turn the screw hard an don't stop turning until its fully seated. I get e little hiss momentarily but it seats just find. I've used probably 30 of my 100 cartridges with no problems. Good value and performs great in my CO2 BB pistol. Hope this helps...AO

You pull the spring on the mag, then shake it. The BB'S will load into the mag

The spring hits so hard it binds the post , or you have start wearing the plastic connection between where the barrel and stock connect . I don't know how any break barrel could be scope wearthy . The barrel can't go back to 0 . That's like taking a scope on and off every time you shoot .

the compensator looked amazing on my 1911, it did not match up perfectly and i was ok with that. It was until i decide to chamber a round that i realized it stopped my slide from going all the way back and not allow a round to be fed . i have since then taken it off and have been too lazy to return it, i have a springfield 1911 champion.
