Well, it finally bit me. I bought 100rds of Barnaul .223 ammo last spring. Hadnt had a problem until yesterday. I had heard enough negative reports to persuade me from buying anymore. But, I have a "tight wad" complex, and didnt want to waste any.  The very last round that I had( and I didnt plan on buying anymore), became stuck about half way into the chamber. It is just beyond the lugs, so I cant get a bite on the head. This is/was a live round. I believe that I have drove the bullet into the case, then squirted some clp to deaden the charge. I think so anyway, I saw powder on the rod tip. I appears as if maybe a head was ripped off before, and the bolt drove that one into the other. I cant get the darn thing out!!! I have beat that SOB with a steel (coated) rod, squirted break- free down the barrel, ect...Any suggestions? I would appreciate any help you could give me. Please, dont kick me while Im down. I have learned my lesson.

| Did you use .223 match or mil-spec standard 5.56 because it could have had a tight chamber wich may have initally caused the case head to seperate before jamming a live round into the first round.I would sugest taking it to a smith who can take the barrel off completely.I have no experience with J&T and only use Bushmaster barrles or colt if they can be had at normal prices.Usually just a chrome moly barrel has a tight .223 chamber and 5.56 shouldnt be used in them for that reason.Chamber may also be rough if its not tight. |
Its a 5.56 chamber, as all of J&Ts. Ill call them tommarow, and drop it off with a friend that works there. |
| I know like for wolf a mild stell case is used and have no experience with barnaul.If the second round hadnt jammed a broken shell extractor would have worked niceley.Good luck and let us know what you had to do to get it out.Also steel cased usually works better out of a chrome lined chamber. |

Well, Thank God, I got it out!!! I was in an accident last April, and lost some of the strength in my right arm, so I guess I just wasnt hitting it hard enough. It was not a case withing a case, but a case that was way, way out of spec. from what I can tell. I just hope my accuracy is not effected by the driveing of the steel rod down the barrel. If so, Ive been lookin for an excuse to get a "no ban" chrome lined bore anyway. Thanks!!!! |
That'll make you think when you load, huh? Thanks Again!!!
