New Airgunner Hatsan BT65 dont know how to operate properly

[lucmif6]

I am brand new to the airgunning scene and just purchased my first airgun a hatsan bt 65 qe sb. 
To attempt to fire the rifle i did the following :
1) flicked up the golden lever and pulled back the silver side bolt
2) put in a full 9 shot magazine
3) flicked down the gold lever
4) pulled back and then forward the silver bolt
5) Turned off safety and pulled trigger
6) It felt as if there was still some sort of safety and i could not pull back the trigger
7) proceeded to pull back and fort the silver bolt some more times
8) removed magazine to see what was happening
9) noticed that 2 pellets were removed from the magazine even though none were shot.

I know i am probably doing something wrong but someone please help as i do not know any airgunners and cannot figure out how to shoot the hatsan bt65

It is filled with gas so its not that

Im sure someone will be around soon to help. Wish I could help. I have never even held a bt65 but sounds like it might just be a trigger needing to be adjusted. If the trigger is adjustable.....try increasing the first stage travel/length of pull. If there is no adjustment for that then adjust the trigger heavier. When you let the lever down to load a pellet......can you feel spring tension/resistance? If you do then the the hammer is not staying cocked.....a trigger adjustment should fix. . Also....make sure you pull the lever all the way back to engage the trigger sear.
Just trying to help mate. Try those two things. It is probably a simple fix.
Hopefully someone with a bt65 will chime in.
On second thought......wait till someone with a bt65 weighs in on it before touching your trigger. Welcome to the forum too by the way.

Cant believe I didnt think of this. Send Bwalton a private message. He is a forum member here who tunes the bt65 rifles....he does amazing things with them. He will definitely know what to do.

Thanks for all you tried but i do not think it is a problem with the trigger as one time it did shoot now into the field but as soon as i put in a magazine to try and use it it again feels as if there is still the safety holding the trigger. I assume it is some sort of safety feature i do not know of. Thankyou for telling me about Bwalton i sent him a private message.

This is an older video when the BT65 first came out but it shows the operation

Sounds like you also have two pellets in the barrel now as well. Have no idea why it is not firing but you need to get those pellets out.

 

[lucmif6]

could i just get those out by shooting it or is there something i need to do?

 

[blackdiesel]

You should be able to fire them out. I've had double jams and just removed the magazine and and fired them. Or you can remove the barrel and push them out with a cleaning rod.

I have double fed my S rod......once. I use a wooden dowel and tapped to out with a hammer from the muzzle end.

Don't leave us hanging. Have you figured out the problem yet?

 

[T3PRanch]

This is an obvious question but you did charge the gun with air? You have looked through the manual?

Hey all have come to do conclusion that there must be something wrong with the trigger will take it back to the store on monday and hopefully get another

Thanks all for the support after all i was just a bit stupid after taking it to the guy showed me that i was not pulling the bolt back far enough as i felt like it would damage the rifle but its shot over 50 shots now and is fine so thanks for trying i was just stupid.
