    Falcon .177 blockage

    Hi. I am new to this forum. I have a Falcon FN12 lIGHT (I think). It has a multi shot cartridge its blocked with pellets and I can't get the silencer off to rod it. Ive unscrewed the 3 grub screws but won't pull off. Thoughts on how to unblock

    if you've removed the three screws it will pull off you may have to be more assertive unless a numpty has bonded it on
    if you're going to rod from the muzzle just do it through the silencer

    If numpty has glued it in, use a hot air gun not a flame torch. Watch out for plastic parts.

    if you warm it stripping the baffles out would be best which is easy to do as they come out of the front
    try not to damage them as it's hard to replace them ,pre plandemic i was sorting out to have some made but never got chance

    Thank you. I did as you said and rodded the pellet down to the barrel just beyond the mag where the barrel joins and its firmly stuck there Ive rodded pretty hard and just worried the rod is catching on the sleeve or should I go harder. Might need to take it in somewhere

    I have a 4mm Rod with a screw on the end. I can screw this into the pellets and pull them out one at a time.

    i'd take the barrel and breech off in that case and try pushing out from the breech to avoid damaging the breech seal

    my sister said her bsa s10 wasn't firing the pellets, so i looked at it and there were pellets stuck in the breech,i used a large welding rod down the barrel and gently tapped it with a hammer ,in the end 10 pellets came out.
