FX FX maverick cocking rod

[ladbence]

Hi!

I had to remove the cocking rod mount, the small piece that has 2 small screws in it. How should I set the rod correctly? When I tried to put back the screws, after cocking the rifle the probe didn't go all the way back and I couldnt insert the magazine.

Thanks!

When looking through the access hole to remove the pellet probe securement screw you want to set the cocking rod to hold the probe so the screw is slightly forward of center in that access hole. Sounds like your probe was probably slightly too far back. I usually stick an Allen wrench into the screw and apply slight forward pressure to force it front of center and then tighten the locking screws on the cocking rod.

Forgot to mention this slightly forward of center setting is done with the bolt handle completely closed.
