Bullet jacket stuck in bore

[mmppres]

This seam to be happing more lately from the use of old unknown military ammo. I have had 3 different firearms brought to me like this with stuck bullet heads. 2 rifles an 1 pistol. All were from using very old surplus from an unknown source. These young guys have no idea how some of the ammo has been taken care of. They buy it at a gun show very cheap. One guy bought ammo that looked like it was tumbled clean. All there i was able to push out after sitting over night with the bore full oil. Then just tapped out with a brass rod of bore diameter.

There was an old hand at our shows years ago that sold nothing but that sort of thing. He and his wife were treated like royalty, but I never bought his ammo.
