Warm up the barrel/upper and then hit the brass with super chilled liquid spray (upside-down co2 Duster).

Great idea. Waiting on a 3/16" x 24" solid brass to be delivered.

Unfortunately, the above tool's collet head does not fit inside the AR Chamber locking "teeth"

Re: Houston we got a problem... Live Rd jammed
Beiruty, did you get the case out?
In certain extreme situations, the law is inadequate. In order to shame its inadequacy, it is necessary to act outside the law to pursue a natural justice.

It looks from your pictures as though the stuck round wasn’t fully seated to begin with.it may well be that the previous round left a piece of brass stuck in the chamber.

Re: Houston we got a problem... Live Rd jammed
This is what I expect to find out soon. The 24" brass rod was not delivered yet. I suspected that the case neck was split and stayed in the chamber when the next round entered the chamber.The Annoyed Man wrote: ↑Wed Apr 10, 2019 9:21 pm It looks from your pictures as though the stuck round wasn’t fully seated to begin with.it may well be that the previous round left a piece of brass stuck in the chamber.

Re: Houston we got a problem... Live Rd jammed
Beiruty, you might want to consider pulling the barrel off of the receiver if tapping on it with the brass rod with medium force doesn’t do it. Depending on how you have the upper clamped in a vise, if you have to start banging too hard on the stuck case with that rod, it could potentially damage the receiver. Removing the barrel, or at least clamping the barrel in the vise rather than using a receiver block to fix the upper in place while beating on the rod, would eliminate the possibility of receiver damage.Beiruty wrote: ↑Thu Apr 11, 2019 12:20 amThis is what I expect to find out soon.

I'd be very careful about the use of heat on the barrel anywhere near the receiver extension. Another thought... if the bullet is already set back all the way into the case, maybe you could use a cleaning rod to keep the bullet pushed back while you dump any remaining powder charge out the front of the barrel. That way, if the primer does detonate, you’ll lessen the risks of bad juju.
Anyway, good luck with it, and let us know the final outcome.

Re: Houston we got a problem... Live Rd jammed
Update:
Use science, a few sec of super chilled compressed "air in a can", sprayed on the case head, made the mission way easier. One bang and it just came out.

Re: Houston we got a problem... Live Rd jammed
Would something like liquid wrench orPB Blaster have worked? Would that be damaging to the chamber?
