: S1K cocking problem
: April 09, 2008, 11:53:36 AM

After several normal shots this evening, my S1K will not cock.  The barrel stops just short of cocking, and the cocking mechanism feels as if it is hitting something solid.  I removed the stock but saw no obviously broken part.  Put the stock back on and had the same problem.  Any suggestions?

How old's the gun, and was it used much? I wonder if the spring might've broke and a piece of it got lodged somewhere.

Does the cocking stroke itself feel or sound any different?

The gun is about two years old.  Awhile back, I broke the original spring while shooting.  CDT fixed that and tuned the gun.  It has his trigger.  It is not shot a lot.   Less than 50 pellets per week, I guess.  The cocking stroke feels and sounds exactly the same up to the point where it meets the solid resistance.

I suspect he'll help you out.

Ashley, just ask CDT and he will gladly help you out. It is not ucommon for a spring to break but could be something else.

Good Luck

Gene

Thanks, Gene, Vince.  I wish CDT was my next-door neighbor.

Well Ashley, CDT does not bite and is really a softy when it comes to girls..:) A quick email will get him jumping.. hehe  I have never know him not to reply to an email.

If your Shadow has been working good and all of a sudden you cannot cock it, would sound like a broken spring or guide. Keep us posted on how you come out with it. And remember we like pictures..:) I mean pictures of air guns and hunting stuff...:) Silly..
