Im not sure if Im doing something wrong (first rifle), but its not rocket science.

I pull back the lever (to the left or right) but the bolt does not move, and the chamber remains closed. The lever pull is very light, as if its not connected to anything.

What can I do?

Just to clarify: When you pull the lever to the left or right are you the pulling the whole cocking handle toward the buttstock? Or are you just pulling the little handle out?
 
Well, it turned out that Im an idiot.

Had to take apart 1/2 the rifle to figure out that I need to apply force.

Jeff Cooper once opined that he thought all men, who would refer to themselves as such, should be competent with a rifle, automobile, and small airplane. The ability to operate any of these should just be basic skills that any man possessed. I think that was kinda what he was getting at. Sad commentary on the state of the average Canadian male and all that.

Not that I have a pilot's license to show you either.
 
Given the price of obtaining a pilot's license these days, meeting Colonel Cooper's standard does call for either a comfortable income or some impressive budgeting skills.

That said, I do agree with him when it comes to automobiles and rifles. I'd also suggest that if you can't drive a stick shift, then you can't call yourself competent with automobiles. Changing a tire, putting on tire chains so that they don't destroy your brake lines, and checking/topping up your fluid levels all fall in this category too. Even if you don't choose to change your oil yourself, you should probably know how to do that too.

A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects!

I prefere Heinlein's take on it.

He didn't say you had to have a license, just be competent with piloting an aircraft. Flying is easy, it's all the friggin' air law and rules that is hard.

Any one can land a plan. the skilled people can walk away from it. :D

Ah to be in flight school again. It only takes one time to learn that when ATC says "caution wake turbulance", they mean it. Cessna's aren't designed to do back flips. :redface:

I thought everybody knows you gotta rotate before the take off position of the heavier aircraft, and stay well above its flight path.
