My apologies but this may be a very silly question. I don't have a ton of experience with rimfire.
I've a got a Live (I believe) round stuck in the barrel of my new SR22. I dropped the magazine and racked the slide a few times with no luck.
I tried to pry it out with a small piece of cardboard, again no luck.
Next, (Maybe this was a mistake) I took the slide and spring off to get a better angle with the cardboard.
Now I have a barrel with a .22 stuck in it.
I was thinking I could :
(A) Put it in a vice and carefully try to pry it with a plastic automotive trim tool
(B) Attack it from the other end with a small wooden Dowel.
What would be safest? Am I an idiot for even considering doing this at home & not on the range, or am I totally over thinking this and should just yank it out.
Thanks.
