After fixing the chamber, will the gun fire

[browningautorifle]

Very few of 'em had ever seen a real firearm prior to joining.

That suggestion as we discussed previously is utter horsesh*t. You must have been in a very protected upbringing. Many troops owned their own firearms or at least family firearms. Don't know where you get such far fetched ideas except from having no actual knowledge.

Besides that we were discussing his chamber condition.

...well I admit I only ever handled a Red Ryder before being issued an M16 at boot camp. Did me a lot of good not having so many unbreakable bad "country" habits...like flapping a chicken wing in the offhand position. Plenty of recruits with lots of "prior shooting experience" came away with bruised arms from being smacked down repeatedly during dry fire training.

The real lesson in all this....never insert chisel into chamber, and certainly never hit a chisel-in-chamber with a hammer. NEVER.

Next time I fire any one of my rifles I'll take a pic of 2 cases and the end of the case mouths I'll then anneal one you will notice as I did that the resultant heat from firing makes the brass look a whitish colour which I take to be hardened you'll see as I have.
The annealed one will display the deeper brass colour after being in the AMP machine.
It has definitely stopped neck cracking as the brass is not work hardened by the dies or firing I usually anneal after sizing its bad enough to lose a case through a head separation than have to contend with cracked/split necks.

You guys that run gas guns and full auto's your brass is cheap as chips and easier for you to source so who cares if you lose a couple each time out here with limited factories we have to outsource from over seas.
You think you've got it tough with dried up shooting supplies try and be in Australia where you cannot get much of anything remotely related to reloading or powder, so if I can save cases by annealing them I will every time I fire them......
We have not been able to get R.P 303 brass for the last 3-4 years which I use the only other brass is Hornady which is very expensive or Sellier & Bellot equally as dear.

As far as "Never seen a rifle" the Turks and the Germans in both WW's certainly found out that allot of the ANZAC's were very adept at shooting them seeing as they had grown up on farms and shot for the pot roo's/pigs/rabbits/ducks.
Most Aussies then and now have had some contact with firearms in our lives.
