Unjam a Stoeger XM1 Bullshark ...
I didn't see any posts which quite addressed my question so here it is: My son and I just got a Stoeger XM1 Bullshark and while we were using it, we had a jam. I don't know if one of us put in a damaged pellet to the magazine or what happened but the gun got stuck where I pull the cocking lever all the way back but it won't go more than halfway forward again. I managed to weasel the magazine out and where the rod pushes a pellet from the magazine into the gun itself, I see what looks like a jammed pellet right there which is making it so the cocking lever can't go forward as it hits the jammed pellet. Is where the pellet is stuck accessible so that using say a wooden dowel rod from the muzzle of the gun able to reach that pellet and hopefully let me tap it out? I don't know the exact layout and design whether that's totally impossible for (reason) or if it's actuall possible to get the pellet out with gentle tapping on a dowel rod.
I did get a video on disassembling the gun; if the dowel rod idea isn't possible just how much must I take apart to get at where I can knock that pellet out? Thanks a bunch in advance.
