I had a little problem with a .30-06 round and my Browning BAR. One of my rounds fired ok, then wouldn't chamber the next round in the magazine. When I look at the ejected brass, it's missing the case neck. Guess where that case neck is stuck? Yup! It's right there, solidly lodged in the BAR's chamber, and a cleaning rod/bronze brush combo won't budge it.
The military-issue .30-06 broken shell extractor, as used for the 1903 Springfield and M1 Garand, are made to remove ruptured cases with considerably more case body than just a broken bushing of a case neck, right? Any ideas what I need to use or fabricate to remove the lodged remnant in my BAR's barrel?
