Diana 60 Break barrel stop cocking

Stop, do not touch rig. When was it last rebuilt? 

Wadcutter's idea seems correct to me. 
If you are not experienced in these rigs "I" would ship it off for repair - I do work on my own pre-charged and springers biut not a Giss system-

David Slade at airgun werks has parts & can rebuild.

But, if you are doing it could you please take & post pictures.

Not your rig but something for newbies to look at to get some idea:
