Anybody have any advice on removing a broken casing from the chamber if the old bore brush won't pull it?

Broken shell extractor. Should be less than $5.

Just cruious, how do those work?

Are they like stripped screw extractors (sharpened "threads" grip the inside of a hole you drill into the screw. Dont need to drill a hole in a casing of course)?

Great little tool to carry around. I have a M1 carbine that it happens to occassionaly (guess I should get the head spacing checked). Just insert it into the case and tighten it a bit. Sometimes you can just extract it by using the bolt and sometimes a cleaning rod down the barrel will do the trick.
