I have a Tula SKS with a remnant of broken shell lodged in the chamber, about a 1/2" or so, right up against the throat. No casing left to grab on to, this would have to be removed by someone with machining skills I think. Previous gunsmith tried broken shell extractors, and with no luck told me it needed a new barrel. I don't think this got the attention it needed as it turns out they were in the process of closing shop - I hope the situation is not so dire that replacing the barrel is necessary. I did find one though....
Anyone have any recommendations for a gunsmith in the Portland or surrounding areas that could take this on? I'm willing to travel and get this done right (I'm located in Gresham). To my novice eye it seems a chamber reamer may be the next step. Any ideas or insight?
