I just ordered a FX Impact X in .22 and expect to get it in a few days. I've read the recommendations to not dry fire the gun. How do you know when you've reached the last pellet in the mag? And, if you're done shooting and decide to remove the mag, should you just leave the hammer cocked? Leave the safety on of course!
Lastly, and it's probably easier than falling off a log once you've done it, what is the best way to remove the barrel , (or as someone recommended the barrel liner?), to clean it, as I'm not a fan of the pull through method, and it would give me an opportunity to inspect the O ring? The reason I ask is because I've seen some videos where the barrel/liner is removed and there are several O rings used to center it and they just seem to be not well attached. Once I get the gun it will all be pretty clear, but any tips would be appreciated.
