SHOOTING OUT OBSTRUCTIONS
By C. J. Suna
Here is a kink I have frequently made use of to gladden the hearts of Young America. Several times the boys came to me with a barrel of their little 22 badly clogged. A rag was stuck in the barrel or a bullet (often both) and in some cases examination showed a solid mass of obstruction from 4 to 6 in. long. To poke this out with an improvised drill would take a long time, so I decided to follow the system of the boy who had originally tried to shoot out the obstruction. I improved upon the technique, for instead of leaving a resilient air space between cartridge and obstruction, I fill this space with water and a 22 I. r. finishes the job. All that remains is to scrub and the gun is again serviceable.
(We do not recommend trying this one, bring it to a gunsmith, it is here for historical purposes)
