Need some help.
Friend brought me an AR15 with a squib round stuck about 3/4 inch from the throat
FMJ or HP?
You could try spraying some CLP or other penetrating lubricant in the barrel and let it sit over night. And then try nocking it out with a close fitting brass dowel rod. A little heat might also help. Or you might bring it to a competent gunsmith.
this, or a wooden dowel rod. either way i’d make sure that the fit is so tight that you may have to use a mallet to push the dowel rod down through the barrel… it would have to be so close that it would almost be stuck itself. that should push it down and out theoretically
Full metal jacket.
The lead core is out. About 1/3 of the jacket is stuck in the barrel.
Punch it out with a wooden dowel
Yep, that’s what I was gonna say. I had a similar issue with my brother-in-law’s AR and that’s what I had to do.
Wow. Don’t think I’ve ever seen an FMJ let go of its core that easily. Good pics. Bore Scope?
I Second (Third?) the wooden dowel.
yeah thats what i had said for the most part. let us know how it goes.
Ok
Finally got the jacket out.
I placed the barrel in the freezer over night, then using a 3/16 zinc rod with some painters tape on the end, I fed the rod from the muzzle until the taped end grab onto the copper jacket. As most of rod was now protruding from the breach, i put the barrel into my vise and using vise grips locked onto the rod, then using a small hammer i tapped on the vise grips about 6 or 7 times and the jacket was dislodged.
Yes, bore scope.
Comes in handy for stuff like this and inspecting any used guns might want to pick up.
From what i could make out from the pieces of the bullet, it appears the bullet was a PSP. The lead core and a button of copper jacket came out when i first tapped a rod through.
congrats on getting it out!! now to clean, re-assemble and then shoot it once as a test fire and see how that goes. keep us updated, as im curious on its accuracy now.
Good Job! 
A little “lead-fouling” left behind, but that should not be a huge issue getting most of that, and any residual will probably shoot-out with the first few rounds.
I’ve got to get myself a better bore scope!
I have the Teslong NTG100 Flexible Borescope. It works with either my PC or my Android phone.
Sure will.
I forgot to mention that with the zinc rod, I flared out one end slightly.
Also, i used some pieces of a copper kitchen scrubber to scrap the leading out of the barrel.
I was just getting ready to say freeze the barrel, when I read that is what you did.
Glad you got it out!
I’ve used a wood dowel.
I use 3/16 (.188) diameter stainless steel GTAW filler rod
Always gets the job done
