Here’s another way to determine if your gun is completely cocked: With the muzzle of the gun pointed straight up, in the “12 O’clock” position, the gun is not completely cocked until the lever is pulled up into the “2 O’clock” position. Point the gun at a target with a safe backstop, put the “safety” in the off position (red showing) and pull the trigger. The gun is not fully cocked and will not shoot until you have heard all seven clicks. As you pull hard on the cocking lever – away from the stock to cock the gun – you will hear a series of seven “clicks”. The best way to know if you have completely cocked the gun is to listen for a series of “clicks” as you pull the cocking lever away from the stock of the gun – as far as it will go. With the muzzle pointed in a safe direction and the “safety” in the on position (no red showing), firmly pull the cocking lever away from the stock of the gun as far as it will go. However, the cocking lever must be completely and fully extended in order for the gun to be cocked. These guns only require that the cocking lever be cocked one time.

It is likely that your lever-action Buck BB gun or Red Ryder BB gun is not fully cocked.
