Removed in less than 2 minutes.

Broken shell extractors are garbage. They almost never work. If you want to actually remove a broken shell, use an easy out. If you don't have an easy out, JB stick weld.

This gun has never seen lacquer coated steel cased ammunition once in its life. I never believed the lacquer theory and this just enforces to continue to not believe the theory.
 
So does an appropriate sized lag screw and a socket with an extension.Then careful prying with a screwdriver and small block of hardwood.Have pulled .22 Hornet and .300 H+H..........Harold
 
Old brass brushes are a pretty good easy solution. Push in from chamber end, pull back - bristles grab the case and pull it out. Hasn't failed me yet.
 
Another one that has worked for me is to drive a cast bullet from the muzzle ( almost like you were slugging the bore ) popped it out on the first try

The case isn't actually "stuck" its just its an awkward thing to try and press or pull out some how. They're many methods but the one method that never actually works is an actual broken shell extractor.... the one thing that is advertised to work. lol

Sounds better than a hardened steel thread in a finely polished chamber. ;)

If you're not an idiot you won't even touch the chamber with the easyout.
