Hello All,

First time poster. Short story, ive been building custom rifles for several years now. I was brought a rifle by a customer. The upper had been exploded!  He said he had no idea what happened. So i tore it apart. The BCG was completely grenaded!  When I got the barrel off. This cartridge is stuck in the barrel. The back of the cartridge is completely gone. The barrel does not appear to have ANY damage. My question is, does anyone have an idea to remove the cartridge with damaging the barrel?  If I were to get it out, would you feel comfortable shooting this barrel again?  Thanks for any input.

**I have a picture but I guess I'm not smart enough to post it. It's a picture on my phone so not sure how to get it to a URL***

How would that work with it .25" and the bore is smaller than that?

Didn’t know those existed. Thanks. Would you shoot that barrel again?
