The pellet is about 1 1/2” from the crown. It wouldn’t budge. Will be much easier to go at it from the breech end and push forward once the barrel is removed. Barrel removal will need to wait for another day.

Opened the side cover and a small black broken piece fell out. Something mechanical failed – also likely needs new rings, etc. Given that something likely broke I’m going to leave it to the expert and call Charlie at GA airguns to give it some love. I’ll just fux it up.
