I have a stuck chamber sleeve on a Garrett Sharps. I tried banging the butt against the floor and it has moved a tad to the rear. I can see the front end of it w/ a flashlight but when I put a 1/2 in. wooden dowel rod in from the muzzle it slide right past the sleeve. I have sprayed Ballistol liberally around the chamber end. Any ideas short of explosives?

Never mind, it came out after liberal Ballistol, a 12 ga. bore brush (in the breech) and the using the 1/2" dowel rod from the muzzle. Tight lil' bugger. :shock:

Coat your sleeve with some Birchwood Casey Choke Tube Lube and it will never stick again. It's good stuff.

Does any one know if the maciano sharps sleve is removable looks like it could be but cant tell.I bought a tool thas suposed to work but GUESS what it dosent. Hopeing Jim might know It shoots great but tightens up abit after about 6 rounds More closlf resembles an origianal I beleive cause all the stuff in my origianal 63 fit perfect.
