9 mm split brass stuck in my barrel

[tbrwlf]

Anyone know how to get a 9mm brass that split in two from the chamber of my pistol.

tried an over sized brush but it didn't work.

tried on of my picks.

Can't get it out

ideas would be appreciated.

Wooden dowel?

If the barrel is easily removed, take the barrel to a ... g u n s m i t h

Was hoping to avoid a gunsmith but that will be my last resort if I can't figure it out.

Keep the ideas coming. I will try anything reasonable.

Cleaning rod without a brush & a small tapping implement? Knife or other prying utensil in through the ejection port? I had a .22 case lose its base in the chamber once, and used fine needle-nose pliers to pry enough away to get the pliers between the chamber and the case - like pulling a tooth. Good luck!

Wood dowel and a hammer. Its a brass case, how stuck can it be?

If you have a tap and die set, find an appropriate tap and screw it into the brass. See if you can now pull it out. If still stuck, tap it out using a rod from the muzzle end with the tap still in the brass.

Borrowed from the internet...

Do a search on this forum... case head separations and solutions have been posted many, many, many times...

X2 on tapping the case I recently removed a stuck case from a sizing die like this

 

[zuke]

use a bore brush 1 caliber up and twist it into the chamber then pull it straight out

An easy out...
But, Dennis figured it out already.

Telling me, you cannot get a wooden dowel on the lip if the case and tap out?

Tried but remember the 9 mm brass is very thin.

It suffered case head separation. Probably too many reloads but I am not sure.

I will try the tap method.

That is an important difference than just a stuck case in the chamber.

I too have successfully used a tap to remove a ruptured case. You need to be very careful not to score the chamber.

Tap makes contact with the chamber, there is a really good chance of a ruined barrel.

Looking at the drawing specs for 9mm luger the outer diameter at the mouth of the casing is .380. So that's safe for using a 3/8 NF tap to cut into the sleeve to remove it. But you want to avoid scoring the chamber. What I'd suggest to aid with this is that you cut off a 4 or 5mm long collar from the mouth of another casing and split it to allow the brass ring to expand around the tap. Insert this collar into the chamber so it is up against the stuck sleeve. NOW insert and thread in the 3/8 NF tap a few turns and pull the sleeve and centering collar out.

Could you get the tip of a small flat head screw driver, in behind it?
Just enough to bend the brass away from the chamber.

Then use a small pair of needle nose pliers to pluck it out?

Just a guess, not sure if it’s possible.

Thank everyone.

The winner is buy a good tap and die set and carefully using the 3/8 tap, six turns and tap from the muzzle and out it came.

Now to figure out which brass needs to go.

Plug the barrel just ahead of the chamber with something soft, perhaps wadded up tissue. Pour molten lead into the chamber and after it freezes tap the whole works out with a rod. Two of Brownell's nylon punches work very well in the 9 with no chance of scoring.
