Vicious

It's stuck just past where the chamber ends and the rifling begins, and about 4 to 5 inches from the muzzle. I don't know if there is a brush in there. I know that it is stuck on a patch that I put on the back though. As far as pushing it through, that patch doesn't want to move. I like the compressor idea, but now I need an air compressor. lol

To cut to the chase on this depressing tale, I have a section of a bore snake stuck in the barrel of my rifle. I tried backing it out of the chamber by using a dowel and rubber mallet from the muzzle end to no avail. I have put a lot of oil in there to try to get things moving, and that doesn't seem to help either. I have also tried tearing bits off of the patch (stuck at the beginning of the rifling in the chamber) that caused the whole problem, but I can't seem to get anymore of it out. Is there anyone out there as smart as me with a simialr experience that would be able to help? My next step is to buy a very long, thin drill bit and try to drill into the snake and twist it out. At this point I'll try anything. Any help/ advice is appreciated.

Funny you should ask, I just shot about 24 rounds today. No misfires, but a few didn't want to cycle the action properly. Additionally, they seemed hotter than Greek HXP. I will shoot the rest of what I have, but I will not buy the Iranian stuff anymore.

I keep it in a quick access safe ready to rock. I'll tell you that it was on the hip during Sandy (and the month after).

They target the nicer areas. Less resistance, typically more lax PD. I wish this f****r would try to invade my home.

A look of envy from me...

Nice job. It looks very well done. Want to do a stock for me? Lol

Bury the Glock in the yard, and it will be GTG whenever you need it. As for the rest, clean and lube them well, and leave a protective coat of oil on the outside (just a thin rub down). Make sure the safe has some sort of dehumidifier, or dessicant packets and you should be fine. Otherwise, I can take them off your hands and put them to good use while you're gone.

Dave, if I ever had half the guns you post, I'd consider myself to be one lucky guy. haha

I want an M44 because my friend got one, and after I looked it over, I fell in love. I don't care if it was $2 per shot, I would still want it. I think it's an awesome end of the world gun. Hahaha

I fully understand. I can't bring myself to sell a few guns that I don't even use anymore. That being said, I really want every gun I buy. I never drop by the gun shop to pick up a random one. If the stock bothers you that much, pick up a restored one, and keep that one original. I'm not really a collector though, more of a shooter. I care more about function than fashion. lol

Shouldn't this be a big deal in NJ? Or does no one care because it is inconceivable that anyone would steal ammo because that is already illegal?

I'll tell you exactly what to do. SELL IT TO ME!

Some fine looking guns in there. Any of these going on near Jersey City? Those pictures got me really interested.

You found this at a buyback?

I'll wait about 30 seconds. I hear that hang fires are usually pretty quick. If I have too many duds left over, I'll put the target out to 10 yards and throw them at it.

Haha, so doing it LIGHTLY is the key here. I guess I'll have to pick that up. Actually, I may just go to the range and keep the duds. This way I know the primers are inert.

From what I have found, they should be non-corrosive. I really have zero experience with this. how do I pull the bullet without it blowing up in my face?

What did you change since the last backup? My friend called me that his computer was dropping a BSOD every now and again when he browsed youtube or loaded up certain games. I figured that flash content may be causing the issue. Sure enough I uninstalled his GFX driver and Flash player, reboot, re-install, and everything was fine. My suggestion is that you uninstall anything that you put on since the last backup, and ensure all of your drivers are up to date. If you think it may be your RAM, run Memtest. Alternately, if you have at least two sticks, you can pull one and try to replicate the problem, if it happens, then swap them. If it persists, it most likely isn't the RAM. If it comes to the point where you need to back things up, I recommend a pen drive Linux install, using Ubuntu.

I feel like he is a little overpriced. I'm glad Dave reached out to me before I made a purchase.

They look nice, I may just remove the powder and primer to have some neat looking dummy rounds.

Cherry Ridge?

Lol, well they got me for $32. Lesson learned. Why would they sell such junk? I guess I'll take it to the range and see what happens.

Nice! I'm looking for a M44 (Polish, Hungarian, Russian) myself. The Chinese ones just don't do it for me. Lol I'm glad they seem to be a good buy for you. From what I can see in the pic, the metal seems really nice.

Well that sucks. Can't really return them, so I guess I'll just see what happens. I only have 50, so I should be able to burn through them pretty fast.
