Oil saturated patch stuck
Hi guys. I have a patch stuck in my rifle (deep in the breech of a Mosin Nagant). It is saturated with oil so I could not burn it out with lighter fluid. I have no idea how to get it out. Does anybody have a suggestion?

There is a tip with a screw type end blackpowder users deploy for stuck projectiles. 0 -
pull the bolt out and push it out??? 0 -
Take your cleaning rod and a patch jag, pull the bolt and from opposite end push it out 0 -
It would help if you were more clear about the problem. I'm guessing that you were trying to pull an oiled patch from the chamber to the muzzle and it got stuck making the transition from chamber to bore. Pounding on the cleaning rod sticking out of the muzzle with a soft mallet should work. Sharp raps are more effective than railroad spike sinking swings. 0 -
I used a brass rod to remove one in a similar situation. brass will not harm steel. 0 -
I keep sections of quarter inch wood dowel sawed to various lengths to drive lead sinkers through Mosin barrels to measure the diameter. They are cut to various lengths so they are well supported by the barrel and can be swapped out to reduce the number of pieces in the barrel. I tap them with a rubber mallet. Depending on how deep in the breech the obstruction is, you could probably just use a single 36" piece of dowel. And as my old daddy used to say- "Light taps beat the devil". 0 -

No, but if you reload, a primer with no powder ought to dislodge it.0 -
In case we have any newbies out there (and for GB liability concerns): A few members were giving us all an April Fools joke. Never attempt to remove an obstruction from a barrel by firing a live round. 0
