Absolutely.
You could always take a rosebud to the chamber and barrel. When it's good and hot, it ought to be easy to push the obstruction right on out. Careful not to burn the digits though.
Please help. Stuck cleaning rod.

Or... just buy the extra long one piece coated Dewey that you should already own.

Whatever you do try VERY hard and protect the crown.
Its a Mosin ferchrissake!!! Buy a piece of 1/4" steel rod, stick it down the bore from whichever end is farthest from the obstruction and pound the hell out of it with a hammer. The obstruction will come out and you aren't gonna affect the bore enough to hurt accuracy. Maintaining a Mosin ain't brain surgery and there is very little need for subtlety or finnesse when dealing with these guns.

Mr. White wins the thread!
If you do manage to break it. Get a C-Note and buy another one.

I'd never run a steel cleaning rod down a barrel,let alone
from the muzzle!!!!
I guess you don't have a MN that's counter bored!!!
That's the reason! Crown/muzzle wear from rods!!
I've got many that have been counter bored,even with
the bore guide it's a bad idea.
Good luck getting it out.

Amen...
The burning out idea is good. Strip the furniture off and figure out about where the thing is stuck at, and heat the thing with a blow-torch (you do have a blow-torch, right?) Try to do it evenly around the barrel, but you probably won't have to heat it up much to get it to ignite or char away.
Well there is your problem. It's a Mosin. It don't understand you. You have to cuss at it in Russian.
I think a little pencil torch would work very nicely to burn out the patch. Just watch out for any flare up with all the chemicals you put into the barrel.

Aren't flamethrowers considered DDs by the BATFE?

Don't want to incur the wrath of you Mosin shooters, but the things are so damn cheap and there are so many to be had why do you worry about cleaning them? Just buy another and go on with it

Cut the handle of the cleaning rod off, then unscrew the barrel and rod from the action and throw in the trash. Then order a barrel chambered in something big like 338 Lapua and then find the gunsmith who will install it for you.

I'm surprised no one has made a joke about how cleaning a mosin only gets you in trouble
Oh yeah, also:
Just kidding

Torching the thing is a Bad Idea.
And a $35 cleaning rod for under $100 worth of rifle?
I'd just dump in some good penetrating oil, let it get good and soaky, maybe wait a little...
A piece of quarter inch steel should drive it out. Use a dead blow hammer and a block of wood on the rod if you can. Take your time.
If putting a piece of steel down the barrel damages it to the point where it shoots any worse, buy another disposable rifle.

Very simple solution - really!
This one is a no brainer - take a round, remove the bullet and chamber it so the end of the cleaning rod slips inside as the bullet would. Now, place it on a benchrest aimed at your target, 100 yards away of course, and pull the trigger. The powder in the shell will force the rod out the muzzle where it will travel down range and strike precisely in the center of your target.
Remember, although you're not a trained professional (if you were you wouldn't have stuck the rod in the first place) but you can try this at home.
Seriously - good luck. We've all been there at one time or another.

Burning it out will take some time, since the fire will snuff out quickly. Not much air in the barrel, and not much coming through the patch. Good idea though.
Afix the bayonet, then go outside and stab a tree. It won't clear the jammed patch, but you'll feel better! There's just something about stabbing things with an awkward spear that brings a smile to the face.....

A torch on the OUT-side of the barrel at the point where the patch is stuck will turn the patch to ash in no time. You'll never get it to burn by putting anything IN-side the barrel.
Suprisingly, No. Flamethrowers are apparently not regulated by the BATFE.
However, walking down the street with one slung on your back is probably considered "disturbing the peace" at a minimum.
Doubly so if you must BBQ a criminalcritter, too.
But, on the upside, there will be no question of "Will my flamethrower stop a PCP addict?"
The old debate has finally been revived with fresh arguments: 9mm vs. .45ACP vs. Flaming jelled gasoline.

a buddy of mine did this and since im the resident gun nut of our group of friends he called me
i took a HARDWOOD dowel and a raw hide mallet and punded it out took me about 20 mins
i am cautious when using a dowel
a guy at the range one day got a squib and tried to poud it out from the muzzle and the dowel split on the nose of the bullet and both we stuck
last i heard were some vewy vewy vewy bad words and im taking it to a gunsmith
"Suprisingly, No. Flamethrowers are apparently not regulated by the BATFE. "
correct a friend of mine's family had one at their farm and used it for controled burns haha got it surplus in the 50's

Oh really? So you don't think scraping the bore with a brass jag or cleaning rod would do anything?
I know this is an old thread, but that saying that a brass rod can't hurt a steel bore is just wrong.
