Good morning,

I got the wildcat out this morning and shot a couple mags full. I noticed the last pellet did not feed found to be one more pellet in the mag The last round of shooting I shot to what I thought was empty and i was unable to remove the mag at all. It's stuck. I'm thinking I will have to remove the barrel to get to that area of the gun. I am not positive it is a pellet just a guess. Yes I have the charging level pulled all the way back. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
Hit the magazine in direction of exiting and in the fixed part. 

It is what I do when that happens.

Pellet will broke and magazine will keep part of the pellet and other part will be in the entrance of the barrel.

Be careful to remove both pieces before trying to shoot again.

Side lever should be totally back in order not to have any part in the way out of the magazine.

I pulled the barrel. That did the trick! Thanks Glem...

This is the same mag not different mags 

The pellet was knurled up but that's from me trying to pull the mag out I'm sure. I put well formed pellets into it. They all feed but for the last one...the 18th pellet in the previous two mags full I shot did not feed the 18th pellet. The lever had resistance and I pulled the mag with no issue

The third mag lever did not advance adn I pulled and mag would not come out...the pellet got bound up mostly still in the mag but just enough out to bind it. It was a learning opportunity and I cleaned up everything with some ballistol. 

EMU I am totally clueless as to why the last pellet will not feed...I am making sure mag is all the way in and seated well, the pellets are in correctly, IDK. About to get out there and shoot it and see if it binds again.

So after the all the breakdown and clean up it did feed but it tried to hang up again...Inspecting the rotation of the mag, further the return appears to be weak...(I do not have anything to compare it to though since this is my first gun of this type). When empty the mag would not rotate all the way back to starting point about half the time when I let it go. Any suggestions? Is that normal for fx mags? Is there a way to tighten this up?

I will search YouTube videos for it I did look at it and it looks like it could be taken apart but I envisioned unscrewing it and a spring unwinding never to be wound again lol.
I will check it out when I get some new mags. If I take it apart and mess it up I’ll be high and dry because I only have one mag. I took a chance and ordered some carn mags. When those come in I’ll check them out if they work and then I’ll try to fix my factory mag. Will they ever get any 22 fx mag for the wc again. 
Thanks to all fo the tips!!

Rule 1. Pull the cocking handle FULLY & DELIBERATELY to the stop. Take your time, it'll probably become more common after 25,000 pellets . My gen1 will do it on occasion. I haven't disassembled to figure it out, just follow rule 1

However if your impact does this, the pin is bent on the bottom of the cocking block. Easy fix. Rule 1 applies here, also.

Sounds like a reliable gun now.

Well I may be expecting too much but for the price I paid I'd like to think these things don't happen in a gun that's shot less than a tin of pellets. I'm having to go to Croatia to get aftermarket mags, and I am looking at YT vids that show mods to fix a mag because it is apparently a flawed mag. IDK trying to be fair but if someone makes a vid on how to mod a cover due to pellets getting hung and feeding improperly there may be a problem. Is it unfair for me to expect this to be better for the price I paid?

There are vids on the mags and winding it a bit more, more feed pressure. might be a piece of lead hanging it up also. Could try a silicone lube spray as it will dry with silicone left behind for lube or it just may be too dry.
