FX Impact decocking

rcs9250 · Jul 13, 2022

I was reading my Impact manual regarding decocking procedure before making adjustments on the knobs (Crown too). They say with no pellet in gun to bring lever all the way back, pull trigger and hold it back continuously and then bring cocking lever forward.
Would the same thing be achieved by bringing cocking lever back, remove magazine and then cock it and dry
fire? Seems like it would but I don’t know the internals and how that might be different than their procedure.

Yes, dry firing does de-cock the gun (well, technically it fires the gun, which means it’s not cocked anymore). However the whole point of the de-cocking procedure is to remove the need to dry fire!

If the mag is in the gun and still has pellets, definitely pull the mag after cocking..otherwise you’ll chamber a pellet as you push the lever forward.

O boy. Yeah it’s sure will load a pellet in the chamber.

After reading your description of what the manual says you left out HOLDING THE COCKING LEVER BACK while holding the trigger back. Don't let go of that cocking lever in the back position when you pull the trigger then bring lever forward (but you probably knew that)
