Cocking issue 46M

[toddinjax]

Hi all,

Recently my 46M has been developed a symptom whereby upon pulling the lever forward to charge, the bolt assembly pops up but not all the way; it doesn't "click" up 90* into place. It often takes several attempts but I can always get it to complete the process (so far anyway). The gun shoots fine, it is charging fully with air once it does pop up all the way, unlike TT member billspin's recent post @ his Izzy. I routinely put a drop or two of Pellgun oil in the compression port as directed by the owners manual and oil or grease on the end of the cocking arm, where metal slides against metal. Is there something else I should be doing or is a serious problem on its way?

When I purchased my 46M from Pyramyd Air, I also had the same problem. I thought it was a defective gun, but I found out that it needed a break in period because all of the parts were tight on the new gun. To speed up the process, I used a very small amount of moly grease on all the contact/friction points of the bolt assembly. I also unscrewed the grips and lubed the parts that were tight upon cocking the bolt. After less then 100 shots, the pistol became smoother to cock and the bolt popped up 90º by itself... When you cock the lever, upon reaching the end, you should slightly "snap" the lever.
