I have lived in AR for about 10 years. I moved here in 2014, and have really enjoyed everything it has to offer. I have been coming to AR since 2005 for Sport bike riding and cycling. I read many years ago, that over 75% of the AR population does nothing outdoors. That works great for me, never...
I dug out my old RWS Model 52. Tried firing a few shots through it and I noticed weird Chrono numbers.
I decided to take it apart and see what was up. I noticed the spring was broken into 3 pieces. The gun has less than 500 pellets through it.
I checked the piston seal and all seems good there...
So I can see where it looks like you opened up the area for the safety. Did that part break in 1/2? It should move when you pull the trigger cocked or not.

When you cock the gun, that spring pushes down the part you are moving manually. Locking it in place until you pull the trigger. Something is not right there. That spring in your last pic pushes down on the part you are moving manually. Check all of that mechanism to make sure it is all moving...
I totally get it. My shooting range is 70 miles away. I have to fill SCBA tank, charge gun. Take support stuff for gun (Probe, hoses). It was so much simpler before, toss gun in, a few tins of pellets and on your way.
