    This is not the right way to remove a squib.

    Had this come into the shop.
    Gun is a Colt HBAR
    Guy had a squib at the last 2 inches of the barrel. He attempted to remove it by firing 'several' hundred blanks through the gun.
    He then drilled it out. Ruining the end of the barrel.

    I pulled the barrel and noticed the throat looked a little worn...


    Throat erosion gauge bottomed out.



    Think an excessive amount of blanks could have done it?

    I wish I could say that I was surprised....


    But honestly nothing that stupid people does surprises me any more.

    I usually nod and think to myself, "That's about right."

    I wonder how many blanks...

    I never would have guessed they would do that.

    Did you tell him that a 10 dollar cleaning rod could have knocked the bullet out without too much trouble? Please tell me what his face looked like after you told him.

    Beyond that everything else is a crap shoot.

    I told him I would have removed it for free. And then told him how much a new Colt Barrel was going to be.
    He is good natured about it, didn't mind when I asked if I could post up the picture.

    I would believe any story when it comes to AR's/ firearms and stupidity. People never cease to amaze me. The fact that he could have been hurt as well probably didn't dawn on him either.
