RAW Rapid Cocking lever is too loose. RAW HM1000x

[Doc_pafumo]

Hi everyone. It's not exactly a problem, but it is quite annoying. The cocking lever on my RAW HM1000X is very loose. Let me explain — it moves backward with the slightest touch, separating from the block before actually starting to cock the spring. I'm not sure if it's due to excess lubrication or a defect. Any suggestions?

You probably need to loosen the grub screws holding the barrel and slide it back a little bit so the pellet probe starts to touch the barrel just before the cocking lever is fully closed.
Had to make this adjustment on a RAW I just acquired. In the photo you can see the barrel is recessed slightly. After adjusting it is flush with the block and the cocking lever offers a little resistance when it closes. Just take your time.

If your gun has the 3 piece probe loosen the grub screws and adj probe. Adj to 1/4" from close and a slight snap to complete. Hope you work it out.

If it’s that loose is it leaking air from the breech at the shot? I had that happen once and adjusting the probe like mentioned above fixed the leak and tightened the cocking lever.

Could you explain this process with more details, please?

When you close the side lever does the outer probe snap in, you should be able to hear it. I believe he is talking about the outer bullet probe, not the inner thin probe. See the threads on the bullet probe and the set screw, you'll need to loosen that screw and slightly unscrew the bullet probe to make it LONGER so it snaps into the breech when closing the lever. May need to add more blue loctite for that small grub screw again.

mine did this, had to adjust the barrel depth into the breech, done.
I had the shroud and nut off so that was on me, thought I had it back in the right spot but did not. Easy adjustments, takes just a minute.

This would DEFINITELY be the easiest fix! Hoping it's this .

i believe you were re doing your cf on the barrel , ? if you got the cf just a little far on the breech end it may be holding the barrel from moving deep enough into the receiver and and not allowing you to get the correct tension needed for the cocking lever to snap shut and stay , . the deeper you move the barrel into the receiver the mor tention the cocking lever will have to help it snap shut ! careful not too tight !!! try and remember about what it use to feel like

Thank you all, my friends, for your help. Indeed, the problem appeared when I removed the barrel and took off the carbon sleeve. I'm currently waiting to receive the new one, so although the barrel is already inserted into the block, I haven't adjusted it yet, which is probably the issue. I appreciate the explanation about the pellet probe—it's always good to know how it's adjusted. Thanks again for your help.
