Squib...need help

[cherrynutz]

Shooing some subsonic rounds for the AR. Shot 8 rounds and on the 9th round all I heard was a little pop and fizz. So there about 1 1/2" into the chamber is a 55g Hornady VMax. I've tried pounding it out going in through the muzzle and vice versa. No luck. Used a brass cleaning rod and then went to the hardware store and bought an aluminum rod. Tried to just tap it then I stuck the rod in my vise and "dropped" the upper onto the rod. Any help would be appreciated.

You try any lube?

Yes. I used gun oil. Then I did a search on Google and someone said use penetrating oil so I sprayed a little Motorkote

I had that happen to me before on a sig 556. I used a wooden dow rod down the barrel from the muzzle end and knocked the snot out of it. It came right out.

Not this bad boy. You would think I tried to jack hammer a 50 cal in there. I'm done messing with it. Taking it to a gunsmith later this evening.

YOu may have to get rough with it. The dowl rod and a bfh might get it it out.

In my range hut I have a brass rod about 12" long. I put it in the barrel of my Crossman Pump airgun pistol on top of a pellet. I then shoot that into the barrel of the rifle. It works like a charm. I've used it for .223-.308. It's an uncoated brazing rod.

I will try the pellet gun trick next time. Took it to John from Tactical Component. He had it out in a few minutes and gave me the rod all for $5. Thanks for the responses everyone

From the breach, right? Does it push them through the first time or take multiples?

John's a great guy. I've been going to him for about everything for the last year.
