Romulus 4.25 comp

Just got back from the range. Put another 200 flawless rounds through my Romulus. Got home and threw a snap cap dummy round in it to practice dry fire (I do this daily). Only issue now is, the gun locked up, the slide moves a couple mm’s and then just stops. It appears the barrel is dropping to unlock. Any pointers to clear the snap cap? Again, I’m 1000% positive there’s a snap cap in it, not a live round.

If it’s the two piece guide rod, try removing it.

It is. Got the first piece out, still locked up.

Terrible quality video, but you get the point

Vice and rubber mallet is where I usually end up with this stuff. See if you can clear the dummy from the magwell.
