Hello all I have a early mk1 rapid 7 I fitted a new barrel from another rapid but as im trying to load the gun the pellet probe will not push all the way and stops before I can fully load it any help would be much appreciated thanks

Here is one of my Tech post on how to install a barrel on a MKII.
Same principles apply.....

Obvious question is it the same calibre ? if gone down in cal you need to change the pellet probe.
if the same cal & the bolt wont close in the gate you need to adjust the bolt/probe, if you have the adjustable bolt with a screw, remember the tiny lock grubscrew in the side  ;)
