[QUOTE="Hugnot, post: 2850617, member: 115658"] Risky business removing a stuck live round from chamber. It only takes one detonation to produce a catastrophe - like an out of battery kaboom. Stuck round extractors are available - they attach to the rim of the stuck round, a rod projects from the attachment point that has a sliding weight, the sliding weight is gently slid back to the end of the rod where a stop is located. The impact/impulse might dislodge the stuck case. Another method is to flood the entire bore with a penetrating oil like Kroil, wait overnight and gently push on the stuck round with a rod - often works - treat both ends of barrel like a hazard. Stuck brass can act like projectiles. Some time ago, during a bench rest shoot, a stuck round was pounded on with a rod. The round detonated & stuck brass flew out & killed the competitor's wife who was standing behind the rifle - a fatal abdominal wound. At a range where I visited, a shooter had a stuck 7.62X39 round in a SKS. He placed a steel rod down the barrel against the stuck round & pushed hard against a post. The round detonated, blood on concrete floor, shooter left. I would use a barrel vice & action wrench - provided application. [/QUOTE]
