Glock26Toter Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Dude. Come on. Don't leave us hangin' I would have tried the burn it out method, or the chemical method.... Maybe he's too busy trying to clean out melted nylon to post an update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KellyTTE Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 3/16ths steel rod from home depot and a brass hammer. I've had to drive as many as 40 jammed simunitions out of barrels using that method. Never had an issue with the barrel or accuracy afterwards. Galaxy Note II + Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve RA Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Inquiring minds want to know - What was the outcome ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamikaze1a Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 How about a big straightened fish hook? Poke it in from the chamber end and hopefully the bard will snag the Nylon allowing extraction? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
38superfan Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Any updates? Suspense..... Had to be progress by now. I would think a rod from the front would get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sasquatch981 Posted July 22, 2013 Author Share Posted July 22, 2013 (edited) Sorry for the delay guys. The barrel is still sitting on the bench as of right now. I pulled the barrel out, and put in a new one before the match. I was too busy re-zeroing to try anything befrore I left, and then after the match, I went on vacation with the family to the beach. After some much needed time to relax, I will get to work on this. I'm throwing it in the freezer now, and if no luck from that, dump in the hydrogen peroxide to sit for a few days. I thought of posting it for sale with the ad: BCM 18" Stainless Steel Barrel, less than 50 rounds through pipe Free Borsnake Included!!!!

Mapzter Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 If you have a grease-gun, the barrel is treaded and if you can find an adapter you can probably force the boresnake out by pumping grease in. That's what we used to do, when I was in the service and somebody got a wad of patches or a bunch of tow stuck in a rifle barrel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kneelingatlas Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 I like the grease gun idea! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yelrdog Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Ok, definitely video the grease gun thing if you do it...I peed a little just thinking about the possibilities. BTW, what's a "bunch of tow"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mapzter Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 BTW, what's a "bunch of tow"? It's a bunch of strands of some fiber material, typically flax, hemp or jute. We used to get bales of the stuff, and used it just like patches for cleaning rifle barrels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MainlineSteve Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 If you haven't resorted to hydrogen peroxide yet, Heat up a thin brass rod longer than your barrel and drive it through the knot from the crown end. Do this three or four times at least. The brass will burn small holes through the nylon, releasing some of the pressure. Then use a thicker rod (room temp and wrapped with masking tape every 4 inches or so to just under bore size) to knock the knot back from the crown end of the barrel toward the chamber. There should be no melted nylon left in the barrel, but if there is, just use a little mpro7 and a boresnake to clean it out... Yeah, it works...

MainlineSteve Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Finally, the term "tow-headed" makes sense! God bless you, Mapzter. That little conundrum was as bad as, "Mind your P's and Q's"... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAcanis Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 The smith that owns the LGS shot one out before. I wish I could remember the details, but I recall him saying he soaked it in something (not peroxide, I would have remembered that), maybe just Hoppes. And he said he shot a cartridge WITHOUT a bullet. The gasses pushed it out and the barrel was fine. Of course, I think a lot has to do with how much of the snake is stuck in the barrel, too... I can say that I wouldn't want to shoot one out of my own rifles unless it was absolutely the last option. And only then with a long string.

Paul-the new guy Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 (edited) There you go... shoot it out. I have some .223 blanks. For sure put that on youtube Edited July 26, 2013 by Paul-the new guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
