00taz11 39 Posted May 19, 2009 Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 (edited) hold the barrel tight to cock click the saftey off and pull the trigger and slowly lift the barrel until un cocked i think thats how you do it anyone else can tell me if im on the right track Edited May 19, 2009 by 00taz11 Quote Link to post

top gun 0 Posted May 19, 2009 Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 how do i de cock it safety off Safety off Pull barrel as far as it will break and keep it there. Squeeze trigger and gently let the barrel go back gently whilst squeezing the trigger a couple of times. The barrel should then spring back into de-cocked position . Quote Link to post
CUPCAKE118 0 Posted May 19, 2009 Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 Is there any resistance on the trigger or does it just go all the way back to the guard? Quote Link to post
top gun 0 Posted May 19, 2009 Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 If any suggestions fail mate, phone your local gun smith heres the link to my local one who knows his stuff if you want to phone them for advice..http://www.kirklees-guns.co.uk/ Quote Link to post

brecon3 13 Posted May 19, 2009 Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 just as the others said to de cock it but dont just let it spring back as it will break hold it and slowly relese it hope you get it fixed mate brecon3 Quote Link to post
dso88 15 Posted May 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 the person i bought the gun off didnt get back to me a bit dodgy so ive took it to the gunsmiths and he said its either the trigger or the cocking mechanism has popped out so he going to sort it out for me Quote Link to post
top gun 0 Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 At least you know its in good hands now and will be top notch when you get it back mate, with some good hunting sessions to come with confidence in the gun.. I have a Lightning too and is an accurate and powerful springer.. lol And the person you got it off,what a :wankerzo4: Quote Link to post
