i am hearing the cocking pin may be too long, the story i'm getting is that the hammer hits the pin and bounces the cocking bolt back
I've never seen an air rifle with locking lugs on the bolt/probe, usually it's just the bolt handle that locks the probe forward. I had a Gauntlet that the bolt/probe would occasionally blow back because it did not lock securely in place, but it didn't have near the power these do, so it never cause damage to the magazine of blew any projectiles out of the breech.

All my own guns have at least two lugs. The twenty has six, Lucky shot has four. Only one and its not enough for a big bore. Just my view of things.Marko
Did the bolt also fly open and did the CNC part of the magazine actually expel from the breech when this happened. This sure the H3ll ain't anything to shake a stick at!!! I was looking at the parts diagram and it appears the bolt does have a channel machined in it for a locking lug This is making me wonder how safe my gun is to shoot
it sounds like the hammer cocking stud that's screwed into the bottom of the bolt was to long and the hammer hit the edge of it and broke it off
