case neck stuck in Garand
« on: June 22, 2003, 07:05:48 PM »
I had a case fail to extract. After pushing it out the case neck remained in the chamber.  The primer was raised so I suspect there was extra pressure. I wonder if anyone can help me get it out.

Use a bore brush (in a 30 use a 32-35 cal) from the rear. Push it in screwed to a cleaning rod. Be certain to not insert further than inside the case neck. The bristles will jam inside the neck angled to the rear. When you attempt to pull the brush out the neck should come along easily. This is the easiest removal method and should be tried first. If it doesn't work there are more positive methods although a bit more trouble.  Good luck from the gunnut69
