Help! Case exploded in my VZ today at the range

Yep, just a regular old broken case, hence the easy availility of broken case extractors.
I looked up and down the marstar site for a broken case extractor, and a google search turned up a bunch of american distributors that dont ship to Canada. Am I just blind, or do you know of any other guys that sell them? I would also pick up a 7.62X54R extractor as a bit of insurance as well.
 
DO NOT use any pliers, rattail file or other objects to try getting the front part of the case out: you risk scratching your chamber and this would add to your problem. I suspect you may have a rough/corroded finish on the chamber walls which contributed to the separation by increasing the effort required to eject the case.
Get a broken case extractor.
I think Marstar sells some for SKSes.
Good luck!:)


+1 how did you get it out freezer or extractor?
 
OLD TRICK FOR REMOVING STUCK CASE;
Take a cast lead bullet, medium hard, hammer it in from the muzzle end, when it exits it should have the case on it....

This is from Comrade Kalashnikov himself...as usual I will interpret...but will have to convert first from Russian to UKR. and then to English, this is a service I provide when needed to those not living in Sask......." In this winter of our discontent, sic, some rifle made by comrades with Vodka in weins, are firing without pin retracting, we call this: Varenky/pirohy/holubci, I think in your country, you call it "cooking off".
Kalasnikov continues after a few drinks of Wodka..." we together gather these guns and like we did after the Great Patriotic War" and send them to Countries of Capitalist swine".
