Appreciate all the replies, didn't have time to dig into this unit now as I was on my lunch break. So good news and bad news, the good news is that there are no pellets stuck inside the barrel. Upon shining a light down the barrel it was crystal clear, so I unscrewed the shroud and somehow a pellet managed to strike the internal baffle located at the last 2-3", photo below.
Very concerning how this would have happened and more importantly how to keep it from happening again. As I mentioned earlier, only had this weapon for about 4 weeks and about 600 shots thru it. Pyramid did send me an RMA as soon as I had them on the phone and said I should receive a new replacement upon returning this one.
