Fix my gun / Modding What should I do?

Post image

First shot of the day my sks did this. Anyone know what caused this and how I can fix this? Is this a gunsmith problem? I should add its stuck, I tried popping it out both with a ram rod and prying it out and its stuck pretty good

I second anyone recommending the wooden dowel. Do not use steel, you may damage the rifle.

Would brass be soft enough, im hearing some brass

Yes, brass, take an empty case with you, buy the largest rod that easily fits into the case mouth

Or, is the barrel threaded ?
Make a threaded adapter that connects to a grease gun and pump the bbl full of grease.

The grease idea would probably work. Making an adapter might be tricky if you don't have the tools, but it could be as easy as a fitting threaded for the barrel (no idea if barrels have a standard machine thread) and the other side threaded for a zerk. The cleanup after will be sucky though.

It definitely works, but it's usually used on stuck bullets not cases.
