Broken shell extractor
« on: May 08, 2016, 08:55:45 AM »
Just wondering if they are all created equal.  I would like to get one that works!  I've seen them go from $3 on feebay to almost $20 in retailers. Can anyone recommend a good model or seller?
When the Cambrian measures were forming, They promised perpetual peace.
They swore, if we gave them our weapons, that the wars of the tribes would cease.
But when we disarmed They sold us and delivered us bound to our foe,
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said: "Stick to the Devil you know."
Rudyard Kipling  1919

1776 will commence again if you try to take our firearms... It doesn't matter how many Lenins you get out on the street begging for them to be taken.

John I don't own one either, have never had to use one "knock on wood"! However I ran across an article some time back where a man threaded a 3/8 - 16 tap into the section of case that was stuck in the chamber then tapped the tap/case out by a rod inserted through the muzzle. I suppose any thread pitch would work as long as the OD is 3/8".

The tap is not large enough to go through the case and damage the chamber, however due to the tapered nature the tap doesn't need to go very far to grip the case sufficiently.
