Well I had a customer bring just the barrel from a 16" AR-15, into the shop because he had a Russian .223 live round stuck in the chamber, on top of that he had a cleaning rod also stuck in the barrel. I could see where he tried to pry the case out of the chamber, as the rim was all tore up.
Note try as I might I could not budge that round from the chamber or for that matter remove the piece of cleaning rod. I used a brass rod to no avail, and eventually tried a steel rod. Right now I've got it soaking in transmission fluid, mixed with mineral spirits, thanks to RC's suggestion.
I do believe the fellow is going to have to buy a new barrel, if and when I do get it out. Tell me are there any suggestions on getting such a combination (round and cleaning rod) out of the barrel?
