Need desrate help with tx200 a.s.a.p

[chris k 205]

So i was out on my promission today and thought ide just checked the scope to make sure it was perfectly zerod in. first shot went off with no problems at all. so i cocked and went for another shot but the safty button located at the back is solid!! it wont let me press it in to arm the rifle. so now i have a cocked rifle with no way of releasing the pressure and its in my house! BIG NO NO!! Ive manged to remove the pellet thank god. so my quistion is how the hell do i sort out this bloody safety button? anyone had this problem before?

Try pulling the cocking lever back as far as it will possibly go to reset the mechanism. That may well do the trick.

Bugger....

 

Something's gone tits up then. If you're ok with a bit of DIY you can remove the stock and manually release the trigger sear and check the trigger mech yourself, but if you're not confident take it to a gun smith. You really don't want to be messing with triggers unless you really know what you're doing.

 

Good luck with it, Chris.

Chris, try Redbeck at Wakefield, they have a damned fine gunsmith there! Speaking from personal experience!

 

Mind you you only just bought the damned thing so take it back, did the same thing not happen to an HW you had your eye on?

 

If so keep away from a daystate electronic trigger :icon_eek:

hi buddy

let us know what the beginners mistake was then?

and this may stop other newbies from doing it as well!

As with Davy. I have both TX200 rifle and HC carbine and I cannot understand what mistake you could have made. Glad to hear you've got it sorted though whatever it was.
