Theoben rapid 7 won’t fire

Solution
Here is a diagram of the barrel....

So Through Port is pointed down.. While the indexing dimple is pointed up.
So Just remove your scope and front ring. Loosen the indexing screw.
Pull the bolt back and lock it back in that rear notch.
Loosen the Barrel clamp and push the barrel slightly forward.
Just enough to see if the index dimple or Port is pointed UP.....
Yip that was the problem I did not know there was both on the barrel just turned it 180 deg and working fine.
Thanks to everyone who contributed your knowledge is valued.
That is Good news you Got your Rapid up and shooting!!!!!
Nothing is more sad than a Sick Rapid!!

I am curious though as to how the air gets behind the pellet to propel it as the hole appears to be forward on the pellet.
The Bolt on the Rapid has an Inner and Outer Probes.
The Outer creates the seal on the Breech of the barrel.
The inner probe will push the pellet Past the Through Port!!
