Cocking trouble with a Maruzen L96

[GasCan]

Hi.
I have a relitivly new Maruzen L96, I have pretty much replaced all the internals apart from the barrel and hop.
At first it worked amazingly, very accurate and not to hard to cock...
The problem I have now is that when I go to cock it the the bolt dosnt lock back, its as if the trigger units Sear is broken or not working.
But it apears fine...
I have riped it apart and back together again about 20 times now and Im starting to lose the will to live!
I have tried both the stock trigger and the new Zero trigger but both have the issue :banghead:
Any help would be Great, im allmost to the point of just throwing it away, a few hundred pounds down the drian!
Cheers in advance

It is because the return spring on the last sear (the one holding the piston) is not hard enought.

You can solve this by disassembling the trigger unit and force the spring a litte, or file the very tip of that same sear.

I had that same issue a while ago on my L96.

You can also simply lock/unlock the bolt handle rapidly a few times. It will help the sear rotate in the right position.

Ill try that tomorow, thanks for the help!
Not sure if it will work because I have trouble with the Zero trigger unit as well but hell its worth a try!
Cheers

HEHE I was being serious and funny at the same time! When i first got my sniper rifle i took the scope off and put it back on but didnt realize i had put it on to far back so the cocking lever would not go back. kept hitting the mount of the scope.
