My friend gotten a couple of these to fix for a shop, the issue seam to be the nylon seal at the very end of the long plunger like pushrod around the barrel.

It is a amazing how much force it will take to compress that spring + hammer spring to load another round in this SEMI rifle.
Im like ,,,,, DUDE there is not that much force in the air for a single .177 shot.

I bought one awhile back off ebay and have regretted it ever since. It loved to always mash a pellet in the stock magazine and always had to use a carbon rod down the barrel to unjam. Unfortunately nobody like Carm makes better mags for it.

Currently have had it disassembled and I actually took out the plunger-like thing off from around the barrel and detached the silver bar connector from the left side of the receiver. Seeing if I can just convert it into a more reliable bolt-action style airgun.

Bad thing is the pellet probe and cocking lever has a weird design due to it being for a semi-auto, you can cock it back however its designed for the tension from the barrel plunger to bring it back forward. The brass connector of the cocking arm slips onto a groove thats cut in the pellet probe that can slide back and catches onto the end, however going forward theres no edge on the groove to stop it, so it will just slide completely off and cant bring the probe forward by itself.

Now I'm brainstorming ways to either get the stock pellet probe to be able to lock forward, or find a different one to swap into the m50
