Afternoon lads,

Any advice welcome

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!
Cheers

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

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

I owned a BSA Mercury .22 years ago. Was brilliant for bunny control :) Agree with Al, well worth fixing it up!
