If it cocks you can hold the cocking lever back and pull the trigger. It should release the lever while you are holding it if it cooked.

thats whole think it never goes back and cocks it will slam forward if you just let go of handle, gauge shows 3000 psi tried pulling lever back the pullback has spring tension forward and back tried safety off and on trigger wont move, on another note i get on chat with Amazon where i bought it they think it has gas or something in it 
so they dont want it back i can keep it replacement comes wed for free

Does the gun let air out when the bolt snap forward?
Can you close the bolt, then point in a safe direction pull the trigger?
There is an adjustment to the trigger seat against the sear that may be out of whack.
It sounds like you scored another gun. Keep the first for parts or offer it up for second hand sale. Be very careful with the gun while the tank has pressure in it.
There should be spring pressure against the cocking lever when the gun is not already cocked. When the gun is cocked, there should be almost no resistance when you draw the cocking lever back.
Shoot'em good

Just need to adjust your trigger so you can cock it properly...

No kidding, sounds like a good deal to me.
Take the action out of the stock. Turn it over and look at the trigger seer. Find the tiny allen set screw on it. Turn it counterclockwise half a turn (for starters). Cock again.

It has a 5 year warranty through Crosman, send it to them and have them fix it! Then you'll have 2 working air guns!

If worse comes to worse you can always send it in to Crossman for repair. It has a 5 year warranty as others have said.
Dang Man! I'm jealous! Most people would like to have one Akela. You are going to have two! Lucky guy!

Well, was wondering why a forum member would spend an extra $70 buying from Amazon instead of Crosman with our 25% forum discount and free shipping on friday. Seems I got my answer. Amazon gives out free guns if you have a problem.
.... That old 'dud' should be an easy fix with just a few twists of an allen wrench...Guess I was wrong thinking none could beat the Crosman 5 year American warranty just a phone call away.
My fellow forum member, you didn't get a dud, you got a gift imo.

...send the broken one to Crosman...or Hapo...
...seriously...I would just send it to them and ask them to fix it...
...maybe they will send you another new one...
...you will probably like it (them)...

that is why i shop Amazon, at worst they would have wanted it back but cross ship me another one, but i guess PCP guns are not returnable to them

Some are, some aren't. I've not been able to make rhyme or reason out of it. I've been told that airguns contain "flammable chemicals" and not able to be returned, but this is not indicated anywhere on the product page. So they don't really have their act together on this- which worked to your benefit woo hoo. There is a more updated return policy feature being used more recently by amazon, it's located in the menu to the right with the financial information. I have seen it on some perishable food products and other stuff, but I have not see it indicating any airgun is not returnable, even the ones they refuse to accept returns on.

Easiest way to degas is to take a deep socket and crack the threads on the fill port GENTLY! Unscrew the fill port adaptor slowly until you hear it begin to hiss. Leave it alone until it quits, then bump the adaptor again until it starts to hiss. This may take 3-4 tries until the pressure is all gone. Go slow, don't be in a rush.
