Skot Ruthless Teale 1,701 Posted March 1, 2014 Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 The red bit of the safety always sticks out a little bit, then when you cock the rifle the safety automatically engages, (slides to the left), so the big bit comes out and the little red bit goes in. and if the anti bear trap is fitted then you cannot de cock the rifle. however if you remove the anti bear trap you CAN de cock the rifle, but some say its dangerous.

davyt63 1,845 Posted March 3, 2014 Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 Nice noe matt, you can remove the safety/bear trap.take out of the stock, remove retaining bolt and coking arm, then just lift it out. You will now be abke to De cock the rifle . Please make 100% you keep hold of the cocking arm every time you load the tifle Quote Link to post
mattybugeye 884 Posted March 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 Well should be blueing tonight but had a "little job" to do this morning yep 1 of them so didnt make bloody shop will be stripped and get cracking tomorrow on mi day off so will upload plenty of pics . anyone else removed the anti bear trap or think it would be wise to leave it as it was made?? Don't fancy some smashed fingers lol Quote Link to post
thursodog 353 Posted March 3, 2014 Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 I removed mines but have gotten so used to it being there that I put it back in, more psychological than anything else. As Davey says never let go of the cocking arm or barrel if its a break barrel when loading, I still hold it even with the anti bear trap in just incase. Type in air gun accident on air gun pursuits tv and watch the vid of a guy who lost the top of his thumb, I'd put it on here but can't get copy and paste to work on the THL these days. Chris.

mattybugeye 884 Posted March 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 (edited) Got all parts washed down instantly noticed the metal work is different from any ive done before clings on to grime like mad and as soon as blueing removed was going rusty in seconds and looked patchy as hell was bit worried this was going to be a disaster but cracked on fast as poss as rust spreading fast another quick rub down to get the rapid rust Edited March 4, 2014 by mattybugeye Quote Link to post

mattybugeye 884 Posted March 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 (edited) The blueing really wasn't taking to the action no where near as fast as last time but 10-15 mins of persuasion with a old toothbrush it started to take phew!!!!! slowly but surely it was taking the blue out of the bath and rinsed and dried started to oil up got it on radiator curing for couple of hour but luckily its come out the same must be different metal they use or s something. Used same turbo diesel engine oil I used last time there just 1 small patch on muzzle end thats a tad smeared but not bad alot beter than before will get it back together and couple of finished pics later sorry for been bit pic heavy lol Edited March 4, 2014 by mattybugeye 1 Quote Link to post
