Steel rod.
Insert through muzzle. Pound the case out. |

Will pick one up. The hoppes kit came with a aluminum one.

It should come out easily with a steel rod.
3/16" rod (or 7/32" if they have it) from Home Depot will be cheaper than beating on an expensive gun-store cleaning rod. I've been through it. You'll need to find something else to do with that steel-case ammo. If you have a notion that you'll "just shoot it" once you have the steel rod, you are not considering HOW GODAWFUL HOT that rod gets when you stick it down the bore right after a round is fired. You get to do that about twice before you get burned. I guess you could shoot in welder's gloves. For me, that got old real fast. You aren't saving enough money shooting steel-case to put up with any of this sort of aggravation. |

Newbie mistake. Will not make this mistake again. What sucks is I have over 800 rounds of this crap. Only good thing is that I have ak kit in 223 that I was going to get rid of. Guess I'll have that built to use ar mags.

I had a WASR-3 that tolerated steel-case .223 ammo.
The novelty of shooting a WASR for no real purpose other than (I bought a case of that crap-ammo too) shooting up WOLF steel ammo got old pretty quick too. Setting up an AR for accurate work - triggers, sights, etc. - gets expensive. Once I've got that much $$$ invested in a quality rifle, I want to shoot the quality rifle. Not the "go-bang" AK so much. I still have three AK's that I basically function-tested, and then haven't fired in probably three years. Maybe if I had unlimited range time I would feel differently. Good luck building your 5.56 AK kit. |

Sell the ammo - chalk the loss up to experience and move on.

Been there, Done that.
Had a old stainless steel cb antenna in the corner of the garage, cut it to length and pretty much dropped down the barrel. Came out pretty easy. Never fired a steel case again. |

If the bolt is retracted (and I suspect it is) it should come out with a rod. If the bolt is still closed, it will not. You have to get the bolt to rotate enough to disengage the bolt lugs.

Is it one specific brand of steel cased ammo? I ask because my rifle will eat Wolf Polyformance but chokes on Tula (stuck cases.) Yes, it is frustrating as all get-out!
