Bullet jammed in Barrel. How to Remove?

[bulldawg64]

Was out shooting my S&W M&P 15X today when I had a "slight" malfunction. A round failed to extract and the next round jammed it tightly into the chamber end of the barrel. Any one have any advice as to how I should try to get this round out? Thanks for your help.

I read in one of Gotm4s posts he did it by filling the barrel with water then slowly pushing a one piece cleaning rod down the barrel (not using the rod itself but hydraulic pressure)

That sounds interesting. May have to give it a try tomorrow after work. Thanks.

Should work as long as the case is intact, if its not u need a broken shell extractor (cheap insurance and should be in everyones range bag IMO). Im sure a more knowledgable member will be along shortly if I'm incorrect or there is a better way.

Must have had a tight patch on the jag , rod alone is not tight enough to form a seal .


Take your cleaning rod , no jag , push 2 patches down the bore , pack them tight with the rod , start by dropping rod from half way up the bore , or tap with a small mallet . Should work , its not as jammed as you think it is .


If the case is still whole ya dont need the patches , they are to protect the thread on the cleaning rod . If the stuck round is fired , just do the rod drop or smack the rod .
