was brought a new{6week old] rem 700 223cal. varmint rifle. owner handloaded a
LONG round and tryed to chamber. left bullet in barrel when he worked bolt.
his father,then takes and tryes to punch out with a green twig. broke that off.
now he takes 2 short cold rolled rods and tryes to punch out twig and bullet.
now we have bullet,twig,and short rod jamed in barrel.
now,father has to try again to save sons rifle,so he takes his punch and gives the base of the bullet a wack to center so he can drill out bullet.
could not get drill bit to bullet as to short.
at this point he being to me,so far i'v taken barrel off action and am soaking
bore with penetrateing oil.
I'm at a loss as to how to save this barrel,if i can. thinking about putting in 5c collet,and try drill and ez out from chamber end.
any/all suggestion welcomed
thank you for your time------emmie
