I bought some pellets that didn't fit my gun. I decided to put them in a corner of the cabinet where my gun is stored. any way, my jackass of a lil bro come to my place when I wasn't home, took my gun and forced in said oversized pellet and jammed up my gun. Then the a$$hole decided to try removing the pellet by firing other smaller pellets behind it. That didn't work. Then this rocket frickin scientist decided to use a piece of steel to ram it out of the breech. Said steel broke, and now i have one rifle clogged all up to f#&% with 2 separate pieces of steel, and only God nows how many pellets. My ? is, can/should these objects be removed? or should i just change the barrel? I'd really prefer to keep the original.   Posted: Wed Jul 06, 2011 10:40 pm rsterne Moderator Joined: 15 Jan 2008 Posts: 2998 Location: Coalmont, BC I know nothing of your situation, your age, or that of your "lil bro".... but the first thing that comes to mind is why was it stored without a trigger lock to disable it, or locked up so the "rocket frickin scientist" couldn't get hold of it?.... You may be fortunate that he jammed the gun up and couldn't shoot it.... It may have saved you from a MUCH more serious situation.... IMO....

I'm 35, hes 30. Weapons are locked in a cabinet in the bathroom storage area The lil sh!t told my wife that I sent him, after he called the office to make sure i wasn't home. I'm gonna give that woman some hell tonight. She KNOWS I don't want ANYONE in my home if I'm not there, but since the lil bastard lied & said I sent him, i don't think i can blame her too much.   Posted: Wed Jul 06, 2011 11:02 pm mod90 Veteran Member Joined: 04 Jun 2011 Posts: 279 FUBAR?

If i can find a bit thats long enough (approx. 10") & a slightly smaller diameter its possible( as long as i take my frickin time) Re: Jammed   Posted: Thu Jul 07, 2011 2:39 pm donec Senior Member Joined: 19 Dec 2009 Posts: 836 Location: central Texas Pflugerville area mod90 wrote: Ok, here's the situ.

If so have you tried to use a push rod to push the pellets out of the barrel? If it is a .177 then an 1/8 inch dowel will fit pretty good for a push rod and not damage the barrel. If it is not a break barrel and if you try and push the pellets out from the muzzle be sure to turn the gun over so the pellets fall out and not into the innards of the gun. I would be concerned about damage to the spring etc. if the gun was fired jammed since there is no where for the pressure to go.   Posted: Thu Jul 07, 2011 9:18 pm Jr. Squirreler Veteran Member Joined: 12 Dec 2010 Posts: 419 Location: New York If you try and drill it out, Chances are you are going to screw up the Rifiling in the Barrel. It seems to me that there might be no good outcome in this. WHAT DID THAT AIRGUN EVER DO?!?!   Posted: Thu Jul 07, 2011 9:21 pm mod90 Veteran Member Joined: 04 Jun 2011 Posts: 279 Ok, now an update. Using a drill bit at 11 rpm I safely removed the blockage. Gun still fires and is still accurate as before. I however notice a drop in power. Tomorrow I'll check for any damage to piston,seals,guide and spring. Thank God I got a mind that works. And you guys   Posted: Fri Jul 08, 2011 5:01 pm donec Senior Member Joined: 19 Dec 2009 Posts: 836 Location: central Texas Pflugerville area I would think the drop in power could also be due to damage in the barrel letting air pass the pellet.   Posted: Fri Jul 08, 2011 6:19 pm mod90 Veteran Member Joined: 04 Jun 2011 Posts: 279 Ok, I checked the seals, piston,spring,guide & trigger assembly. No harm done. When I looked down the barrel, saw some rust. Cleaned the barrel, and all is back to normal as far as i can tell. Tomorrow I'll use the chrono to see if what I'm getting is up to standard.   Posted: Fri Jul 08, 2011 8:53 pm Jr. Squirreler Veteran Member Joined: 12 Dec 2010 Posts: 419 Location: New York One question though. How did you buy pellets that didnt fit in your gun? Were they not the right Caliber??   Posted: Sat Jul 09, 2011 4:35 am mod90 Veteran Member Joined: 04 Jun 2011 Posts: 279 I bought those pellets about 3wks ago. The pellets are the right cal, but its really tight & the skirt always sticks out.So I stopped using them after the a few pellets didnt fit quite right.   Posted: Sat Jul 09, 2011 8:19 am Jr. Squirreler Veteran Member Joined: 12 Dec 2010 Posts: 419 Location: New York Ohh Gotcha.
