Sounds like the cocking leaver aint pushing the spring back .. Take it apart and give it an oil bath and a real good cleen and you got yerself a real good bunny buster!

If it goes "twang " when you pull the trigger then it's as sapper said,if not it sounds like somethings bust(cocking lever pin?). Paul
I'll strip it down and look at the parts, looks like most things can be found on e bay for it !
Cheers Lads
Stripped it down ordered some parts !
Buffer washer, breach seal, piston o ring, piston head, piston pin ......worth spending a bit of money on it then hopefully go get some rabbits with it ! Looking at the barrel serial number it's from the 70's, not sure if to rub it all down and re paint parts & varnish the stock or just leave it as is
So just waiting on parts then away we go

- While the Swiss Army Knife has been popular for years, the Swiss Navy Knife has remained largely unheard of. Its single blade functions as a tiny canoe paddle.
