HELP! I have a round stuck half way down barrel!

[19Delta]

First off, yes, I am an idiot. :-)

Second, if I were reading this, I would be laughing and thinking, "this guy is a total noob!"

I am not a noob, but somehow, when loading mags and switching mags, and loading gun in a hurry, I chambered a round, then swapped mags, and chambered ANOTHER round! It pushed the other one in!

Yes, I realize I am lucky it didn't go off. Yes, I am an idiot.

Now, best way to get it out? I have not tried. Don't want to mess this up.

It's far enough in that another round will fully chamber.

How did the second round chamber? What model firearm?
How's that even possible?

[19Delta]

Sorry, it is a Kahr p.380.

A round was chambered, dropped mag, locked back, inserted new loaded mag, released slide lock.

[addictedhealer]

Was the first round a 32al or a 25 or something? I can't possibly see how the first round could be pushed down the barrel.

What you are describing is impossible to do. Are you jerking us around for fun or what?

Lets say this actually happened. The first bullet was a smaller calliber....(only way it could happen) The fix is this: 1)Drop the mag: 2)eject the second bullet. 3)dissasemble the gun. 4) Put the barrel in a protected vise. 5) use a wooden dowell rod and a hammer and tap the round out from the muzzel end. 6) Quit jerking us around.

First off, if you've got a 380 round stuck half way down the barrel pushed there by the second round being chambered ............................you've got an extremely powerful recoil spring.

In any event...........what muggsy said.

I'm sittin the rest of this one out with my..............

What the heck happened to muggsy's reply? Use Ikeo74's

[muggsy]

I fully agree with your first statement. You sound like my kinda guy.

[Ikeo74]

I see 19Delta is logged in now.

Delta, we would like a thourogh explanation of what actually happened.
Can you give a detailed account of why you needed to change mags and a detailed report about this.
If you did this there is a serious flaw in your ammunition.

When you "dropped mag, locked back" that should have ejected the chambered round. Something just doesn't add up here...

You know..........you're right!
Didn't have my normal three cups of coffee before I answered. (Brain not engaged fully.)

[19Delta]

I had no coffee that early morning before I loaded 7.62 ammo in my mag! doh!

I don't know why , but my brain didn't catch this "little" (GIANT) detail. It is fiochi ammo, so it only says 7.62 on the outside.

I would not mind at all if this entire thread were deleted!

But, obviously it should stay so all the other boys and girls learn from this painful lesson of embarrassment!

The 7.62 slid right out of barrel by just shaking it lightly. And for those unaware, 7.62 is .32 caliber. :-(

[addictedhealer]

Wouldn't eject if he had a 32cal in the magazine. I believe they are just small enough to fit.

[Ikeo74]

Thanks for the explanation, we knew that it had to be a smaller bullet in order to be pushed in. A lesson learned, keep magazines seperated from now on, I mark my mags with a black ink marker, it works for me. That small of a round would not eject because the case would slide off the ejector.

[RWillieK]

I keep my .380 and 9mm far from each other for this reason!

[wyntrout]

Wow! When you aren't paying attention, some really weird $#!+ can happen!

We've had guys have problems and try loading a round into the chamber! Yee...Haa!! Now we have a really big problem with a live stuck round!

I'm glad that you got that sorted out.
