I found a pellet rifle in a dumpster and wondering if it is worth trying to fix. The problem seems to be that when you cock the barrel something is not engaging at the end of the stroke.

It is a Beeman Sportsman 1000 series rifle.

Thanks!

Maybe it was in the dumpster because it would cost more to repair than a new one--

Beeman outsources their repairs. You can gander at their website and contact same if you are still curious....

Send it to me for disposal.
