#1 Post by link_dc »

When i shake my gun side to side, i can hear something. So i took it apart and its the little thing by the trigger, you know, the mini poll looking thing.... i forget what there called, but it slides back and forth when you pull the trigger, and its loose, like it moves in and out a littel bit, its pretty tight side to side though, how would i stop it from wiggling, and is it normal? does yours do it? if it matters mine is a crosman quest 500, break barrel

That is the "anti-bear trap device". It prevents you from accidentally pulling the trigger when the barrel it not fully latched.
It is fairly loose. If the rattling bother you, put some heavy grease on it to prevent the rattling.

Thanks, but i already did somthing to fix it, i tapped on the outside of the hole where you put it in, with a pointed metal tool and a hammer, and it pushed some metal toward the hole, and now its nice and tight! :D
