Once you get it fixed, remember to use snap caps when dry-firing anything rimfire. The firing pin can hit the chamber and fuck things up. It isn’t an issue with center-fire (including rimmed center-fire like .357 Mag or 7.62x54R), since the pin just goes down the barrel on a dry fire, but there isn’t much space between the pin and shoulder on a rim-fire.

Got snap caps for almost all my guns! Love 'em! This model has a hammer-block safety. That’s safe to dry fire, yes? Never hits the firing pin.

Oh, yeah, that’s probably fine. I didn’t expect it to, given the price.
