    Stuck Case in AR-9 Chamber

    There is a stuck partial 9mm case in the chamber of my AR-9 (see attached photo). I believe it must have been a weak case, and the extractor tore the case head off leaving part of the case body inside. I’ve tried every less aggressive thing I can think of to get it out with no luck. Since it’s a 9mm and there’s a lip where the mouth of the casing headspaces, and the case is flush with the lip, I think it will have to be pulled out from the chamber end somehow, rather than pushed from the muzzle end. Any ideas?

    I got it out by contracting it with a compressed air can turned upside down, shoving a tight fitting jag and patch into the chamber, and it pulled right out. Thanks.

    I can’t really take credit, it was advice offered on another forum. Gotta love the interwebz.
