Autococker VRT Superstock won't cock

[Cenobite]

Brought this brand new, but for some reason the cocking rod when pulled back does not lock (as you should do before putting air on).

With battery in and air attached the bolt moves back and stays back.

Its brand new and hasnt been used or touched, is this something simple? Or is it knackered?

sounds like the lug isnt catching on the sear..

you need to take the bolt out and put an allen key cant remember the size of it. Then put it down the hole behind the feed neck and pull the cocking rod till the allen key falls down, turn a quater turn clockwise and see if it catches then

Alternativly talk give the guys at belsales.com a email theyll know exactly what to do

I'll give that a try, thanks so much.

I'll give it a try tomorrow thanks again, I need to get some more allen keys, according to my research its a 1/8 allen key.

 

[Cenobite]

Tried that sadly didnt make a difference. Any other ideas?

Got it cycling now but now I cant get it to cock without doing it by hand... slowly getting there
The block doesnt seem to be moving back far enough.

When you draw the bolt back by hand it locks,yes?
If it does but not when fired sounds like there's not enought pressure from the regulator.
Put the air on and try cycling whilst adjusting the regulator(try it in and out).
When it works if it still stays in the cocking position whilst you hold the trigger then you have it in "classic" mode.

Yes it now cocks although it didn't before.

Hmmm odd thing is moments after posting last night and logging off I was getting ready to pack it away.

Literally as I was about to turn it off the backblock slid back on its own. So its back to being stuck out on its own. removing the battery it returns.

i surpose its a daft question,but as its brand new have not phoned the shop u got it from or tryed to send it back????

apart from doing that it does sound like a air or pressure prob as tiffer says

 

[Cenobite]

It was mail ordered so trying to resist sending it back, but on a plus sdie I've had a response from WGP today who also are suggest its the inline reg that needs adjusting. So Ill give it a go later

Cheers,

Matt.
