lever gun issue

[subtlesixer03]

Any ideas on how to get half a broken shell out of the chamber of a rossi 94 in 357mag? its pretty damn suck in there. it is a brass case. looks like it broke right at the point the bullet ended and the powder began. looks like a perfect clean break all the way around.

First I would soak things overnight with some penetrating oil of some kind. Next day I would try an over sized brush and push it down from muzzle end and see if it will catch and drag it out. Of course you'll have to unscrew and take the brush out from the chamber.

Did you try using a cleaning rod?

hornady oneshot works well to

I would suggest using a product called cerrosafe. It is available through brownells. It basically works like this. You would run a snug patch from muzzle end to just in front of the chamber. Then you would pour melted cerrosafe into chamber. Cerrosafe hardens virtually instantly. Let sit for a minute or two. Proceed to tap cerrosafe and broken casing out of chamber. Hope this helps if not there are better expanations online just google cerrosafe.

broken cases

I've had good luck using a 1 size larger bore brush. push it in from the chamber until it's centered on the case, then reverse it out. a lot of times you can snag it this way.good luck.the chamber might be oversize or corroded. George

I have had the exact same problem with my .357 marlin. Seems to be a problem when I shoot .38s out of it and don't scrub the chamber. Really does not take that many to cause the problem. I just used an easy out.

Can you "field strip" the action? Would that give you more space to get the case out?
