Hi all new to the group, so i have been gifted a hw98 in .177. When i cock it sometimes the cocking arm drops out or just jumps and then dosent cock. What is likely to be wrong with it?

Got it shooting. Had to close the gap on the shoe a smidge, very easy to do. Problem solved. Shoots like a lazer too 
FWIW, my .22 95 Luxus cocks almost silently, is the smoothest coking break barrel I own, and has never been touched. Does have a bit of twang when fired but not a lot of recoil. I have other guns that recoil much harder. Be interesting to see what you find when it’s opened up.
How is that RM8? I have a .22 Maximathor and it’s a fantastic gun. That’s why I bought a stock of parts for it about 8 months ago LOL. The quirky stablemate I finally found for it should be here today or Monday. Being in the UK should be one you recognize.

Since you are already in the UK, I would say go with someone like TinBum, or someone who has the sub 12 thing down to a science.
Ther are several tuners and houses that could do the service for you over there.
After watching Si Pittaway videos, I would be very keen on a tune from Sandwell Field Sports.
Best of luck to you with the new rifle, she is a right cracking piece of kit!

Ya i figured it was warranty.. as in if it dont have our stamp we ain't warranting it kinda thing.
Guys that buy from krale or some other places say theres aint stamped in any way. (???). Mostly all i worry about is a solid working gun and best pricing

What and how does the barrel have to do with power? So i take a Uk low power gun put a high powered USA barrel on it and it converts it to full usa power?
Thats in the receiver so youd stamp it
Kinda like that "F". On the receivers to mark that ..
