I have a new Crosman 2300S Silhouette. While it is very accurate and I enjoy using it, it has one minor, but annoying problem. About a third of the time, after I cock the action, insert a pellet, and push the bolt home, the bolt sticks just short of the bolt handle slot and the bolt handle will not rotate down. I have to pull the bolt back and forcefully ram it home to get to the point where I can rotate it down. Most of the time, though, the bolt easily pushes the pellet into the breach and rotates down to lock. Why it doesn't work this way all the time is a mystery to me.
Is there anyone else who has this pistol and has experienced a sticky bolt? Is there a known cause? Is there a solution?
