Finally took my .20 R-9 apart.

What happened is it would not release from a cocked position,lt could not go back into the firing position,stuck cocked...yea, bad.
Anyhow, took it apart and found that the cocking show had broken and become stuck between the cylinder and piston, and that prevented the barrel from returning to the firing position.
I know there is a newer style cocking shoe, going to order one.
I mentioned the above just in case someone else may have had that problem.

So you disassembled it while cocked?

Better get the spring compressor out for that job!

 

[boscoebrea]

No,I fired it with the barrel cocked open because "it" would not return back to the firing position, of course, it slammed shut, talking not a good thing,but I was not going to take it apart being cocked. Yes, I used a spring compressor. the broken cocking shoe would not allow the rifle to go back into"battery".
I hope I explained myself better

Dang... Could you of held the barrel like you do for decocking one instead of letting the barrel fly?

 

[Frogy]

Holy poop should have held the barrel

 

[Chuck-in-Ohio]

You may have to use a little of the old barrel bending skill once reassembled, if it is shooting high that is.
No worries, it has been done many times.

Ever have an afterthought?I have

 

[A.G.R]

Should have taken the barrel off , remove the cocking arm from shoe put barrel back with arm not attached insert pellet and fire and disassemble.. if you let the barrel slam upwards on firing with no slowing it down it’s bent. 100% . If it was in the stock it would have cracked the wrist area ..

Ever have an afterthought?I have

On many things in life . Thats for sure.

In the end it's nothing but added experience

 

[boscoebrea]

Live and learn,I did slow the upward thrust of barrel a bit .No cracks in stock, maybe a bent barrel,I will fix everything.
These .20 R-9 are special.
