Newbie needs help badly

My Kaliburgun Argus 60:

Shooting the .25 cal. this morning and double loaded it. The lever will not close. The magazine will not come out, preventing a rod down the barrel approach. Looking at the "exploded view", disassembly looks to be above my pay grade. Any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated.

i would think you could get lucky by pulling the pellets out the front of the barrel with the drill on one end and screw on the other of a hollow rod
but you would have to make the tool

or you are going to have take the barrel off and that looks like a real pain

not owning one of these i have no idea what has to come off to get to th barrel

good luck

I'm not familiar with that gun, but is there any chance you can get a thin blade - like from a box cutter or such - in between the mag and the barrel to cut through the pellet that is jamming the magazine in place? That would let you get the mag out and then you could push the pellets out . . .

What gun? How hard is it just to remove barrel? That would help in removing magazine & then using a wooden dowel from the crown end to tap pellets out.
Again, wondering what gun you have. Might be easier than you think. Although I've RARELY double loaded I've never had a problem cocking with a safe amount of force & then just shooting them out.
EDIT: Just noticed which gun. Not familiar. Sorry.

Call Airguns of Arizona or Charlie Frear at Georgia Airguns in the am and get their professional input.

If you can LIGHTLY tap a wood dowel down thebarrel, JUST enough to get the 2nd one back in magazine & remove mag, it simplifies your problem greatly.

Sheesh! That's a tough one.

Long ago, a friend double-pumped a Crosman 622 that I had. It completely tied the thing up and I wasn't going to force things. Having no cleaning rod, I was lucky enough to have access to an air compressor at the shop. So I bumped the pellets back a little at a time with compressed air until the magazine would come out. Once it was removed, the first pellet fell right out.

Luck,

Thank all of you for your replies and thoughts. I'll try a few this morning.
Will keep you posted.

DEGAS!! Dont want any mishaps!

 

[PNEUMATIC]

Success!
Kudos to Jacob @ AOA.
I thought I'd share this fix in the event another member encounters this problem.
Jacob said that since the magazine is steel and the pellet of course being lead, tap the side of the mag with a short dowel and hammer.
I did just that, and the pellet sheared. The mag then came out, allowing me to push out the second pellet with a dowel.

Hopefully lesson learned ??

 

[Gerry52]

Glad you got it solved. Make sure no damage was caused to internal breech/barrel o-ring!

 

[Sawney Bean]

The magazine and the barrel, being steel, are probably both undamaged, but what I'd be worried about are any stresses that were placed on the mechanism that holds everything in alignment and keeps it properly indexed.

Pulling the barrel is a heck of lot safer, then use a cleaning rod to knock them out from the transfer port end.
