22 projectiles stuck in barrel?

I would not use a brass rod that long - a stainless brass tipped rod - or something similarly tough. also at less than .20 diameter, no matter what type of material you buy for the rod, it is going to bind in the barrel you need to either make/buy/use some bushings or some tubing (from any hobby shop) to protect the bore.

Noted. Thanks.
 
as sean stated, use bushings to protect the bore. I have access to a machine shop so I'd make a drill guide to drill out the obstruction until you can punch it out (long a$$ drill bits help :) ).
 
Wow is all I can say .Stick with post#4 or you will need a new barrel .Do not ever fire a blank in a barrel full of wd 40 what ever you do.
Lead melts at 328 degrees F .Strip the gun down to the barred action .Heat your oven to 350' F place it on an angle with something to catch the lead and let gravity do the work for you .
I have at least 8 scrap barrels from the other methods .
good luck !

Quite frankly - that's probably the easiest/most accessible/quickest thing to do - will still leave lead in the bore, but easier to deal with.

However, we don't know for sure the bullets are actually lead (I've personally never seen anything but lead in .22) what they are alloyed with - melting temp may be higher.

Or even the possibility that there is something else in there other than bullets?? do we really trust the guy that said "your bolt is fkkkd - there's gas coming out of it" ?? I wouldn't ;)


anyway - no harm in trying ... you could probably stand the barrel up in the oven through that little vent under the back right hand burner :)

Muzzle loader guys have bullet pullers that screw into the ramrod. Make one that fits your cleaning rod. Cut the head off a wood screw and thread the shank to fit your cleaning rod. Put some lube in the barrel and screw your puller into the bullet. Then heat the barrel to expand it. Tie a strong cord to the handle of your cleaning rod and the other end to something secure. Pull on the gun and the bullet should come out (like a tooth).

Tye the cord to a car door and slamer her shut if you need more snap to it ( caution ! It could fly out and puck the door or worse bust a windo .):cool:
 
For very tight bullets I use a piece of,,, "Drill Rod " as close to bore dia. as possible .
Lots of penetrating Oil on 1 side of bullet for a few days & then the same 2 other side .
I get the drill rod from a wholesale / commercial hardware store .

You can buy mercury on ebay, it will disolve the lead

In the time it takes to dissolve the lead, mercury will also plate the inside of the barrel and then every time the rifle is shot, highly toxic mercury vapour will also shoot out. Given the value of the rifle, I'd say don't use mercury.

So a buddy hands me an old Anschutz single shot yesterday and asks me how to get a stuck 22 pill out of the barrel. I told him to just use a cleaning rod and push it back down towards the receiver, Then he tells me there is more than one in there, probably around 3. I didn't want to bugger up his rifling so I didn't attempt anything but do any of you guys have any good idea's or is the gun pooched?

Apparently the old boy that gave it to him got the bullet stuck in the barrel and just kept shooting and gave it away to my buddy telling him the bolt was buggered and gas was coming out of it, haha.

I know the bore I did tis on was a larger one than the one your working on but I went to a place that sells speciality metals and bought a solid brass road. I drove a piece of lead down a bore of a rifle to check the diameter so I could have bullets cast. I guess I don't have to tell you to drive it towards the breach . be very gentle because it's a very small diameter brass rod. I would drill a hole in a very hard piece of hard wood and place it on the end of the brass rod. and tap very slowly . good luck .
