tires2burn Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 When you get a squib what direction do you remove it? Do you drive it through or back out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juan Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 wich ever way is closer to drive it through you must disassemble the pistol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iShootguns Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 I generally drive it from the breech to the muzzle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sudden Death Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Usually back trough, but every once in awhile depending on situation, I have seen the gun taken apart then removed, * NOTE* be careful when driving it back through I have seen a ejector broken, not for sure if it was the bullet with the force of being hit to get it out of the barrel ??? but I am betting on a stack up of bullet, rod, and hammer on the other end. All tree came together to it the ejector and broke it ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will tell you something I made that will help, I used a piece of delrin plastic, milled it to fit straight down through the ejection port into the well of the frame, then I releve the delrin around the ejector, then I cut a pocket out into the side of the delrin that the bullet comes out for it to go into and the delrin fits tight enough into the well of the frame to not rock back and hit the ejector, I didnt make this because I have squibs all the time, because I dont, I can say I have never had one with my loads, but it seames like wen I shoot with certain people they have them and I just wanted to help them get it out with the least damage to there gun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seemed to me that was the long way around so on the next one I had a wood dowel and it only took a couple of taps to knock it back through the chamber. It looked like a lot of work to shove it all the way through the rifleing. Right or Wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Like was mentioned above. Whichever way is closer. All the squibs I have seen have been primer only affairs and were just beyond the chamber. Not much trouble to pound out from the muzzle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
