After about 100 pellets I chrono'd it.

After collapsing 2 coils flattening and polishing it's now doing 10.43 fpe with 7.5 gr Defiants. All my other pellets reduce the power considerably.
Yesterday I inserted a 2.60mm thick pre-load washer onto the spring guide but the rifle will not cock. When I take the trigger unit out of the rifle it works fine (as does the safety) If I remove the washer it works OK. But, if I insert the washer, it wont work.
The O/D of the pre-load washer is roughly that of the spring.
What have I overlooked and what should I do?
Many sincere thanks in advance for a solution from you!
