See in my opinion this has nothing to do with it being a break barrel and everything to do with the barrel being a rusty piece of scrap iron. Multiple barrels in fact, the two I have in my possession now and the one on the first gun that Crosman replaced, and those reported by other posters on the net. Of course I am not sure about that first gun but the symptoms have been the same all along for me. That's part of the problem. Because break barrels have the idiosyncratic nature that they do, a simple mechanical flaw like this gets blamed on the nature of this style of gun.
