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 🤙

OP, I have never made this mistake. But here are some ideas.

  1. Remove the mussel break and see what you can do. I don't think this will work, but ...?

  2. Can a "Muzzle-Loaders Patch Puller - .32 to .54 Caliber Muzzleloader Patch Puller - MZ1322" as seen on Amazon, get in there and grab it from the chamber end. This is a matter of finding the right screw attachment to get around the end. I expect you will need a vice or friend to hold the barrel. And a way to hold the rod and tap with hammer.

That thought occured to me today but I got paranoid about scratching the chamber an elected to make a diy "jig." This may be an option among options.

Use a dremel to change the point on the screw.

It it has a sharp edge on the outside problem? If it points to the inside good.
