No more swing!
Funny thing is we’ve had swarms of starlings past few days so I had to break out the old mrod and she ruled the day, forgot what a great gun that Benji is..

I’ve replaced breech o ring and I’m going to retest, may have to open things up and replace more orings. Should be an interesting first time airgun repair.

I think I found its home like you said under the cocking lever in a small spring loaded hole.. seems to work..!
Now I just need to figure out what’s up with the swinging fps..
