I bought my 124 directly from Beeman back in 1984 for the astronomical sum of $360. I have fired thousands of rounds and killed hundreds of small animals since then. My gun gave up the ghost a few years ago and I recently bought the kit FWB 124-127 Pro Mac Kit- NEW from a local smith and installed it today. It fired properly , after a somewhat difficult cocking, once, and since then I have not been able to cock it. It seems like the available travel to allow the sear to engage, may be compromised, I am thinking, by the SS spacer at the trigger block end. I intend to disassemble and remove that spacer tomorrow to see if that may be a factor.<br /><br />If anyone has any thoughts on this, I sure would appreciate hearing.<br /><br />timagination11@gmail.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2378835029459742413.post-69974349473151182672011-12-15T11:09:21.159-08:002011-12-15T11:09:21.159-08:00So far, the 124 is the only gun I've ever repa...So far, the 124 is the only gun I've ever repaired that I consider a compressor absolutely mandatory. I'd be most concerned with the end cap (including the trigger assembly) firing across the room breaking the trigger off in the process. Also may damage the last thread(s) in the cap making reassembly difficult. It's also virtually impossible to reassemble the gun and manage to install the end cap, spring and safety, while compressing the spring then align for the securement bolt. Not enough enough hands, dexterity and strength. There's also some probability of damaging a replacement mainspring on reassembly. It'd be hard to compress that much free length of spring w/o it bending sideways.derrick38https://www.blogger.com/profile/07453249070532046877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2378835029459742413.post-80555151883278460982011-12-14T19:30:01.998-08:002011-12-14T19:30:01.998-08:00what happens if you dont use a spring compressor w...what happens if you dont use a spring compressor when working on opening the rifle?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2378835029459742413.post-28869649391209659232011-10-03T07:50:45.798-07:002011-10-03T07:50:45.798-07:00Derrick,
