    Stuck Sharps Sleeve

    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:

    Stuck Chamber Sleeve

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