Hw97 Loose Cocking Arm

[A1WOC 212]

I had a little problem with my 97 a couple of days ago. The cocking arm was loose in the retaining catch and I didn’t have to depress the end button to release it, also the pellet POI had also changed and I couldn’t achieve my normal grouping size. I thought at first the cocking arm retaining catch spring was faulty, but on close examination I found it fine. I did notice the spring loaded ball bearing at the end of the cocking arm wasn’t located deep enough in the catch to hold the arm secure. I couldn’t find any means of adjusting it, so I released the grub screw retaining the silencer, tapped the silencer further onto the barrel and tightened up the grub screw. Works fine now and bought my pellet grouping back to normal.

Regards, Steve
