FWB 601 trigger help please

[TomAmlie]

I was shooting my FWB601 this evening, after a long absence, and at one point the trigger did not reset. Cocked the rifle, inserted pellet, closed loading gate, and the trigger is completely "dead". Tried re-opening loading gate and reworking cocking lever, all to no avail. Now I've got a pressurized cylinder with a pellet in the chamber and I need to disassemble (nothing long, thin, and rigid enough to push the pellet back out).

Does anyone have any ideas of what I should look for when I disassemble it?

Thanks in advance!
Tom

Probably no need to disassemble it..... It sounds like your trigger slack adjustment screw is too tight. The screw that gives your trigger 1st stage travel distance can actually be set to prevent the rifle from cocking. Back it up until you have a bit of take up distance and that should resolve things.......

more likely you'll find something on YouTube .
Besides that you may download excellent scheme on official fwb page. There'is nothing complicated inside you rifle. As fist step just unscrew hammer spring. It allows taking apart rifle safely. If you posted a couple pics of your trigger mechanism , we could figure out what makes trigger blocked

Thanks; it seems that may have resolved it. I won't know for certain until I run through 100 or so cycles without it happening again (even then it won't be "certain" I suppose).
