Title: PCP repair
Post by: montanapcpilot on May 14, 2025, 04:38:23 PM

I have a Benjamin Akela  The side cocking lever will not go forward enough to chamber a pellet.  Any repair places I could mail it to?

Check the  very small screw that attaches the actual cocking lever to the charging mechanism.  I had the exact same problem with mine and investigation revealed that tiny screw was in fact physically deformed and kept backing itself out just enough as to prevent the cocking lever to be pushed all the way forward.  I was able to move the cocking lever back but not fully forward.  I called Benjamin and they mailed me a replacement screw and advised me to install it with loctite.   Solved my problem.
