Cocking assembly
First establish a source for replacement parts, otherwise there is no point to mess with the air rifle.
Also by your description, I am not sure if the main spring is fully cocked or not at this point ?
If you are not sure about it continue cautiously.
Second (if you are mechanically inclined) start to take the rifle apart.
Remember that the danger is in the in the main powered spring.
Taking screws out is fairly safe, pins on the other hand should be done cautiously, they usually hold back some sort of force.
Pushing out any pins that hold assemblies together should be done with a smaller diameter pin than the one you attempting to push out. The pusher pin should go in loose, but if spring tension is present it will stick and keep things from exploding on you.
If the push pin gets stuck you will know there is spring tension that needs to be released.
Putting pressure on the right component or spot will free your pusher pin and allow you to release compression in a controlled and safe manor.
At this point you can just identify the parts that look broken or excessively worn and replace them.
Good Luck
How to repair a ruger air hawk .177
well for starters, there is no firing pin, second, without major machinery, you can't fix a spring powered air rifle, any of them. It is impossible, major jigs and fixtures hold these things while the spring is removed and replaced. You might try crossman, they do a lot of repairs.
Cross hairs do not adjust. Tell me what to do please?
All question need FULL 'make model (what it is)'.
You posted to optics, so let's guess is a telescopic rifle sight?
It is impossible to see and movement as the crosshairs move such a tiny amount. Half a millimetre in the sight is 10 feet at the target. The only way to zero in sights is on a fixed bench rest at the range.
If you really think they are faulty, return them to the maker for repair.

I have a NexStar 90GT with no hand control, a replacement will cost $135, is it worth it to buy for this telescope?
Whether or not it's worth it to buy a replacement hand control for your NexStar 90GT telescope depends on a few factors:
- How often do you use the telescope? If you use it frequently and rely on the hand control to find objects in the sky, then it may be worth it to invest in a replacement.
- How important is the hand control to your observing experience? If you're comfortable manually finding objects in the sky and don't necessarily need the hand control, then it may not be worth the expense.
- Can you find a cheaper alternative to the official replacement? Sometimes, third-party sellers may offer hand controls that are compatible with your telescope at a lower price.
Ultimately, it's up to you to decide whether the cost of the replacement hand control is worth it based on your individual needs and preferences.

No zoom function on a kalimar power zoom scope,
larry389's so-called solution is not a solution... just an opinion to which each individual is entitled... even when not correct! I've used a Zeika Opt. Co. Power Zoom Binocular No.25361 for over 25 years since inheriting them from my father who purchased them in early 1970. To say the least, treated carefully and with respect for the delicate instrument that they are, they've been wonderful and still work perfectly fine. Perhaps Larry's experience is based upon handling them like junk and, therefore, reaping what he has sewn.
