Casing stuck in chamber! *cries*

[maple_leaf_eh]

You could also fill the barrel with liquid (water, antifreeze, canola oil, etc.). Then you only need a short piece of snug-fitting rod or dowel (use a cleaning patch for a tight fit) and one tap with a hammer should pop the case out.

Theres a lot of chatter about things stuck, wood, rods, tight bores, poor preparation, lubrication and expressions of gratitude. Am I still reading CGN?
