dunganick Posted April 19, 2006 Report Share Posted April 19, 2006 cleaning rod down the barrel, take the barrel off and use your finger nails.... any number of things, have you tried just letting hte bolt down with the button so the extractor claw can get a grip on it.

markbivvy Posted April 19, 2006 Report Share Posted April 19, 2006 srent shell was probably swollen and not seated right.but them that know will be along soon for the tecky bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunganick Posted April 19, 2006 Report Share Posted April 19, 2006 did you let the cartridge go intothe chambre and then slowly let the bolt down, as very ocasionally this can meanthe ejector claw dosent ride over the rim, but ive never had this happen with my dads teknys, just cheaper semi's.

two-barrels Posted April 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2006 the claw kept hold of the cartridge. i noticed it was a tight fit though, maybe its cos the cartridge was fired in my other gun and it swelled a bit too big for this one i dont know.

the last engineer Posted April 19, 2006 Report Share Posted April 19, 2006 as posted the brass has expanded larger than the chamber bore, therefore jamming on entry, try this take said expended shell, duc-tape it to your snap cap, then throw offending pair as far as humanly possible now you will never have this problem again :blink: Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

henry d Posted April 19, 2006 Report Share Posted April 19, 2006 I had a similar experiance with my remmy 11-87 but with a live cartridge :blink: I had re-loaded some cartridges and the offending one that stuck was fired in my Beretta and the chambers are not as similar as I hoped. Resizing sorted it in the long term and a dodgey moment with a cleaning rod against the gun room wall sorted the short term,however if I had been stopped travelling back from the marsh by the B.I.B. as the gun was strapped to the passenger seat pointed at the roof Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
