Hi! Joe, Hope you are on the mend!! Can't figure out what I have done wrong, I was lucky to find the rifle at the Midwest Airgun Show this past weekend, Purchased it from Mark Oelhberg that works at Pyramyd Air who gave me a great deal on a very nice gun. I brought it home and shot it Sunday evening, It shot so well that I was utterly amazed buy its ability to stack pellets and do it with out any recoil like every other springier I have ever shot!! (Just as you said they will) I have watched I believe all of your videos on these rifles and have wanted to get one sense then to totally restore. I liked shooting it so much that decided to just refinish the stock for now and re blue and rebuild it this winter as it is very presentable as it is and is still shooting over 600fps.as is.
I removed the stock, stripped it and stained and applied an oil finish this week (look's GREAT!! ) Well I put it back together and now when you shoot it it doesn't recoil back on the sledge as all! I know it did before so it's got to be something I have caused! This evening I removed the sledge and trigger housing to try to figure out what the cause is and could not see anything, cleaned every thing and put bit back together and it still wont move. It is stuck in the forward position and doesn't move back when shot, I know it worked as I remember watching it move forward at the very last bit of the cocking stroke? Can't see what I could have done to it as everything looks correct but know it kicks like a normal springier? I'm hoping you can tell me what I may have done to this to cause it. Has to be something stupid that I'm missing (I'm good at that!!) Any advise you can offer will be much appreciated. Thank's in advance!! Jeff L.
