Wildling 520 Posted March 22, 2014 Report Share Posted March 22, 2014 Was the bolt taken all the way back before it got stuck or was it when you began to try to cock it that it became stuck ? Quote Link to post
oman 23 Posted March 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2014 Was the bolt taken all the way back before it got stuck or was it when you began to try to cock it that it became stuck ? It was getting really hard to cock for a few times, it was cocking fully but you had to force it and the last time I did it it stuck and won't go any further. Quote Link to post
Wildling 520 Posted March 22, 2014 Report Share Posted March 22, 2014 Is the rifle currently gassed or loaded ? Also have you tried using a freeing agent like GT- or WD-40 and leaving it overnight with a good soaking. Quote Link to post
Tron 173 Posted March 22, 2014 Report Share Posted March 22, 2014 Mr Mole has a point I have come across various BSA PC rifles that have had a wayward pellet stuck in the trigger section causing a problem where the guns wont cock. Quote Link to post

No the buddy bottle is off the rifle, I will try some WD-40 and see if that makes any difference. Quote Link to post

I have tried to take the bolt out but it will not come out and I don't really want to force it out. Quote Link to post
secretagentmole 1,701 Posted March 24, 2014 Report Share Posted March 24, 2014 Time to take it to a gunsmith then. I really would advise against spraying WD40 or releasing liquid into the cocking mechanism of any PCP or air rifle! Dieseling could be the least of your worries! Quote Link to post

Lol I think the man would have the comman sense to clean his rifle down thoroughly after use. Quote Link to post
