Dan Wilson Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 Went to the range the other day and shooting my carry gun and had a squib load (primer only, no gunpowder) and now I have a bullet lodged HARD into the barrel, now to find a way to get it out without damaging the barrel. Scary part is this is my carry gun, what would have happened if I had to use it and this happened - seriously screwed is what I would have been. This was with MagTech ammo, anybody else have trouble with their ammo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mt.crewchief Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Dan, Just chamber another round and shoot it out!!!---Just kidding of course!!! I'm sure you have already field stripped the pistol, removed the barrel, and driven the bullet out from the rear with a wooden dowel by now!! I have done that many times due to people's careless reloads, but wouldn't have guessed Mag Tech ammo would would have one like that!!! I would guess that they will question whether it was actually their ammo if you tried to make a stink about it! But, I would still let them know about it with pictures!! Being your carry weapon is the worst part of the story. Maybe you should consider getting a cane gun since a canes have been mentioned here recently!! By the way, I am glad you didn't have that happen when it was needed in a critical situation!! Now, let's get started on that 12ga. cane gun!, Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve haigler Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Holy Schitt Dan, What a predicament if you really needed it.!! (Fix Bayonets) Corrective Action: I guess a guy would have to weigh every round before loading in the clip. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NATOPS1 Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 weigh each round (record average) put back in box weigh box get approx weight of a box repeat a few times (record average) use average weight to compare new boxes... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Wilson Posted December 10, 2012 Author Share Posted December 10, 2012 Well I guess its time to get out the scale, it seems like the best idea for telling if the shell is charged or not since things can seriously go bad if I run into another squib load. Thanks for the idea Natops1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
