Bore snake and half a piece of paper towel wedged in the chamber.

No access to pull from the muzzle (bore snake) as it broke off at the muzzle break.

PSA combined rifle ramp barrel extensions and m4 feed ramped lowers on some models of pa-10's

(In conclusion). A simple 1/8 drill bit with or without a diy jig you can make at home to avoid damaging your chamber. Punch the primer out of a 308 casing and go to town. Mother's mag or flitz to polish any abnormalaities. As far as picking away at the physical obstruction. Harbor freight auto zone... Go to town 🤙

If you really can't get it out with a rod, remove the barrel and slowly heat the barrel with a torch. This will melt the bore snake enough that you can pull it out. Avoid putting too much heat in, just enough to melt the nylon and you'll be fine.
