Someone just posted that their charging handle broke off and I immediately searched if you were the same person. Thankfully your first firearm purchase didn’t end in a breakage!

Make sure you clean and disassemble your firearm before taking it out to the range.

Yikes! Almost 300 shots through without cleaning already, shouldn't be a big problem though? I'll look up a vid tomorrow thanks! My charging handle seems pretty sturdy!

Biggest thing if you let it go over 1000 rounds without cleaning that I’ve noticed is it will slam fire. Like a whole mag.

I just cleaned it last night but I couldn't get the firing pin out! Any suggestions, I saw a video some guy used a punch tool... but I dont have one...

So there is a single pin holding it in. I would suggest you take the ejectors out first. Push the pins from the bottom. Then push the pin for the firing pin out from the side. Brass punch is your friend. Was it spam firing on you?

Also don’t both taking it out until you’re at like 750-1000 rounds. Doing it every few hundred rounds if kinda silly.
