68coupe Posted November 20, 2020 Report Share Posted November 20, 2020 OK folks. this isn't directly related to Thompsons, but here goes. I have an antique .32 auto pistol that ruptured a case leaving the bullet lodged in the barrel. I need advise on how to remove it without damaging the barrel. On top of that the barrel bushing is stuck to the barrel, making it impossible to remove the slide. MAB Model D. Any suggestions are appreciated.

BillyDixon Posted November 20, 2020 Report Share Posted November 20, 2020 sounds like you also have a bulge barrel to prevent removing bbl. bushing, just sayn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anjong-ni Posted November 22, 2020 Report Share Posted November 22, 2020 Narrow-flute exact bore-size long drill bit. Worst case scenario if it's super-stuck. Lots of grease, go very slowly. Phil drill bits | McMaster-Carr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
68coupe Posted November 30, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2020 Finally got the pistol apart. I used a large, and I mean LARGE C-clamp to dislodge the slide/bbl bushing. The bbl is indeed bulged. NOS one on the way. What a pain. Going to try to remove the slug anyway, just to inspect the internal damage. No way in hell I'll ever reuse it. I figure I'm lucky it didn't blow up in my hand. Karl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
