I have a broken shell stuck in my SVT40, the entire rear rim ripped off. Is a broken shell extractor the only solution? Also, are the BSE's specific to each individual caliber? Thanks

I do believe that shell extractors only work for the cartridge you need to use it on. Have you tried using a cleaning rod and a very tight fitting patch? This will sometimes work, If that fails you could try to use another empty and try to compress it into the other case. I would think that a good gunsmith should be able to remove it if you can't.

Yes, BSE's are caliber specific. I have one for 7.62X54R and another for .233. They are cheap, get some for your range bag.

Thanks, I just ordered one. But is there another way to remove the shell? I'd rather not wait. |

i know a guy that screwed a tap into the back of the casing, then used a cleaning rod to push it out.

That worked. I bought a 3/8 tap from the Home Despot this morning, and it worked nicely. |
