I double loaded it... as I have done before... but easily cleared. This time the mag will not come out. I am guessing the only option is to still attempt to drive it out from the front unless removing the barrel will let the mag release. I am not usre how the end of the barrel is made at the breach to know if that will help. As a last resort i could knock the mag out with rubber hammer BUT i fear that is likely to damage something else besides just the mag. SUGGESTIONS?
FX FX Crown .22 Stuck Pellet and MAG.

Pull the barrel would be my suggestion. Obviously you want to decock the gun before you do anything.

I would pull the barrel and see if that frees it up. If not at least you might get a little easier access to the stuck pellet for easier and safer removal. If the second pellet lodged into the skirt of the first removing the barrel should pull it out with the barrel.

Agreed
Remove the barrel
Make sure you undo all the grub screws that come in contact with the barrel, including the one under the scope where FX drilled the transfer port.
Once the barrel is off pellets in the barrel can often be tapped out using a dowel
Is it a MKii with the superlight barrel?
There's a picture from FX below
Hope this helps

yes it is a MKll with the light barrel. No harm in trying with the barrel removed . I quit and now am back. I did remove the barrel and was able to get the mag out as well as clear the barrel so all is well again. Thanks.

If similar to my 3 FX guns there's a brass piece on breech end of barrel. The end of it (last 1/8") is what butts against & holds the magazine in place. Loosen barrel set/grub screws & pull barrel forward enough to release magazine.

A word of caution....I have reinstalled a barrel/liner and taken the rifle out to shoot....magazine would not go back into the rifle.
Even though there is a notch and stop at the end of the brass port piece, sometimes it extends a smidge too far into the magazine well. If that happens you cannot load a magazine into the rifle without first loosening up the barrel set screws, pulling the barrel out VERY slightly and re-tightening the barrel set screws.
The BEST way of preventing this is to insert an EMPTY magazine into the well, then install the barrel and adjust the barrel insertion to just kiss the magazine. This will allow the magazine to be loaded into the well after you're done.

been there. I normally just smash it more and then fire it out. You can also pull the barrel off and pull the 2nd pellet out and then either reinstall and fire or push the 1st pellet out with a rod and start fresh.
