Hi,

I have a bit of a dilemma.

I was cleaning the bore of my Enfield .303 using a
Possum Hollow Bore guide. I talked to Mr.Sinclair,
and had him send me one specifically for the P14.

Anyhow, I got this rifle used, and the bore had alot of gunk in it.

So I put the guide in and swabbed the bore with some Shooter's Choice
copper remover.

Well after swabbing the bore numerous times, as well as running a .30 cal brush
through it, the bore guide refuses to leave the chamber.

I tried tugging, wiggling, twisting..

I tried tethering 550 cord through the solvent insertion hole and pulling it out while
the rifle sits on my cleaning rest.  

Nothing, won't budge.

I called my gunsmith, and he had no idea what to do.

I tried calling Mr.Sinclaire, but noone answered.

Any ideas on how to handle this situation?

Pour Kroil and let it penetrate. Insert cord through guide and out side hole, tie knot. While pulling on cord strike butt on hard surface. It may work? Worse case you could always melt the guide out.

Kroil won't hurt my rifle?

I'm just concerned. I would seriously hesitate
to ever even use WD-40 on a firearm, much less
anything else not explicitely authorized.

put a fat screwdriver into the notch that allows the insertion of fluids and hit the the screwdriver with a big deadblow hammer

drive the bore guide backwards and out

you may need to stand the rifle up and strike downward

Kroil will not damage your rifle one bit.
