Answer

The quickest and fastest is to just run a rod down the barrel and knock it out. Then you should be able to see why it stuck, and fix it. Ken

Duhh, I forgot to tell you it does not have a head on it.

Answer:

Well that makes it a bit more interesting doesn’t it. OK first try the easiest thing and that is to take a bore brush and shove it into the chamber and case. You will want to use a bore brush that is a bit larger than the case. Now don’t push it all the way thru but just into the case, now try to pull it out. The bristles on the bore brush are pushed back and angled back because the bore brush is larger than the case and as you pull the brush out they want to dig in and hold on. Again this doesn’t work all the time and won’t for a really tight, stuck case but you will be surprised how often it does work. If that don’t get it we will go onto the next step.

It did not work

Answer:

OK pull the barrel from the receiver. Now you can take a tap that is SMALLER IN DIAMETER THAN THE OUTSIDE OF THE CASE and tap the case and pull it out. This is tricky and you will NOT want to damage the chamber so be careful.

Another way is to just polish it out with sand paper. Again be careful that you don’t polish the throat area of the barrel. You can also take a .22 LR chamber reamer and cut it out but the case may stick to the reamer and just spin and not pull out. Good luck Ken

I had to weld a 1/4 in rod to a #12 tap and got it out on the second try. I polished the chamber up a little and the gun cycles good now. Thanks
