Bam B40 not cocking

Hope it’s ok to also post for British TX200 experts also since this is a clone.
I am new to GTA. Have a BAM B40 (TX200 clone) that is not cocking. Would love any tips about what might be causing that and how to correct it. Problem started with not catching sometimes and progressing to will not catch at all.
TIA!

The last time my TX 200 wouldn't cock it was a cracked cocking shoe. I don't know how close a clone you've got with a B40 but it could be worth investigating. A broken spring will sometimes cause cocking issues as well. Either way involves a teardown to see what happened.

Try re-adjusting the trigger. It might be adjusted too light.

Check the torque on the nut behind the but.

having owned 3......b40s.....nearly an exact clone....most parts fit
1 check the trigger....can cause it not to cock, can cause it to fire when the saftey is disengauged
2 take out the trigger block and look at the spring.....this is a good time to put a tune kit in...
3 make sure the pivot pin on the cocking arm is seated all the way
4 check the cocking shoe for wear and cracks
5 message me
