fifthmdec Posted November 16, 2018 Report Share Posted November 16, 2018 One of our little helpers at the shop, inadvertently pushed a patch into an Oasis integral suppressor and as we all know, that is a no-no. Tried to get Gemtech by phone, no answer and email, waiting for a reply. This suppressor seems sealed and it is recommended that it be sent to Gemtech for the removal of the cleaning patch. Any other options or shops that are equipped for such a task... Thanks in advance... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DougStump Posted November 16, 2018 Report Share Posted November 16, 2018 Try compressed air. 100 psi won't hurt the can and you might get lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-JC- Posted November 17, 2018 Report Share Posted November 17, 2018 Tactical Solutions in Boise may be worth asking. They made the Oasis barrels for Gemtech. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giantpune Posted November 29, 2018 Report Share Posted November 29, 2018 (edited) I may be late to the party. But I'd try one of the small slender tools made for grabbing computer parts. They make these in various sizes and lengths. Or if you have a music store around or know a musician, grab a thin guitar or violin string. They are rigid enough to poke through a patch and either pull out and force it all the way through to the other side.Or some running water.If you can see the patch, some wax on the end of a stick may pick it up.If all else fails... burn it out. Little lighter fluid and a match will get it out. If it were me, I would try to use the same principal the tow truck man uses when they're pulling a car out of somewhere. Pull it out the same way it went in. If you try to push it the same direction it was already heading, you can make it worse. So back it out the same end of the barrel it was inserted in, if possible.
