Title: SIQ 10 MM TACOP Problem
Post by: Jim Bridger on September 28 2020 10:15:52 AM MDT
There is a broken ctg. case stuck in the chamber. I have tried every thing to remove it short of heat. Does anyone on the forum know of anything I may try? The firearm is a SIG TACOP 10MM.

I've had good luck with automotive picks. Dental picks work well too.

Upend a can of canned air and freeze it, the thin brass shrinks much faster than the thicker barrel steel

Wear gloves to avoid frostbite

Did you remedy this?

If its an empty (fired) case, take a dowel or cleaning rod and from the barrel end punch it out.

If it is the forward portion of the case, the staight walls of the case, push a tight fitting cleaning brush into the case without getting it into the bore . Then just pull it back. The brass bristles will bend back when inserted and lock into the case walls when you pull back.

Thanks for all the suggestions gentlemen.  I finally soaked the chamber with Blaster PB penetrating oil. I removed the barrel from the slide..  I then drove a cast lead bullet into the broken shell casing from the chamber end. The brass drift rod was placed into the muzzle end. A few taps against the lead bullet removed the broken casing. I later    removed a broken shell casing for friend same method.
