Weihrauch hw80 wont cock.

[air gunner 0]

Hello!

 

My mates HW80 will no longer cock... He will draw back the barrel and the gun wont latch. anyone had this problem? I had the same problem with my supersport at one point but managed to fix that. taking apart the HW80 I cant see whats wrong with it. the trigger mechanism seems to be working fine and we can just about manage to get it to latch out of the stock but its a struggle and as soon as its in the stock it wont latch atall. Not only this but at the same time this problem occured the cocking leaver arm fall out occasionally when we put the barrel back to firing position. The only theory I have is that the piston wall where the cocking lever pushes against it has worn down meaning the piston doesnt reach the right part of the sear.

 

Any help would be appreciated!

 

cheers, Bernard

Could be one of a few things mate...have you tried to tighten the the trigger?.....also the safty may not be completely on or off kind of stuck between on and off somethime cr@p can build up and stop the spring from hitting the catch

used to happen to my old hw80 every once in a while, cause the spring guide has 4 small lugs, my gun over time would snap them off and wouldnt cock, bought uprated spring guides' gunsmith made super strong spring guides, after a few months same would happen again , in the end i went without a spring guide, gun was fine..
