22 cal. Fires When i Close The Breech Need Help

Sounds like the sear is not holding allowing the gun to fire.

Have you made trigger adjustments? Kind of sounds like the trigger adjustment screw worked loose to the point you have a hair trigger and the rifle will fire if it's bumped in any way like now when you close it.

Check you tube for videos on how to adjust the Rekord trigger and breech seals are readily available from many retailers. FWIW, I like the Vortek breech seals.

Yep...either some one messing with the trigger or...had this happen some years back, a pellet got into the trigger mechanism, probably a loose one floating around in the case, worked its way into the nechanism and locked it up!! This was a 177 cal model, cant see that happening with a 22 as I believe the 22 pellet is to big to slip inside, how ever it might be other crud. Try flushing the trigger mechanism with aerosol cleaner.

If it’s an older gun the factory installed grease that was applied to the safety catch spring may have hardened. This causes a malfunction just like the one you are describing. The safety does not fully engage and with the slamming motion of the barrel lockup the gun prematurely fires.
