If the other methods fail, hold barrel loosely and give the muzzle several sharp whacks with a piece of wood. Hardwood is best. This should dislodge the bits.
Good luck,

^ Best way to do it!Something I have done in the past with a firearm and know it works. Get a drill that is smaller than the bore. Wrap it in two places with electrical tape close to bore diameter. One toward the drill tip and another farther back toward the rear of the bit. Wrap in the direction that the tape will not unwind as the drill motor is turning the bit. Now you have a bit that can not touch the rifling. A small hole in the projectile will relax the lead so it can be pushed out. Or you can turn some plastic sleeves to keep your drill away from the bore. I shot someone else reloads once upon a time.
Sounds very much like a muzzloader ball puller. This one goes on the end of the ram rod.I had a buddy that jammed 3 slugs into his M3. What I did was used a cleaning rod to try and push them out. But what ended up happening is the rod got stuck in the slugs. So when I pulled the cleaning rod out it pulled the slug with it.
Intrigued I put the rod back into the barrel and tapped on the back end to smash it into the next slug. And again I was able to pull out the lodged slug. I have never hear anyone trying this, but ill be darned if it didn't work.
I was using a rod that had a female end on it. So the slug was able to go inside the threaded portion and it helped grab the slug.
Give it a try
Didn't realize that the slugs were already removed. Why would you put steel drill bits in your barrel? Honestly I would write the barrel off and buy a new barrel and have your cousin pay half.
I agree with all you said. PCP’s aren't like PB bolt guns, they are delicate on loading compared to the bolt gun.Everytime I hear of stories of pellets or slugs jammed up in a barrel, like 2-3, it’s always due to a pcp being loaned out. I had a friend come over to target shoot with me using my impact, and yeah even while jokingly shooting the breeze I had my peripheral views on him everytime he cocked the gun, as no one will know your gun better than you. This particular Ammo head size loaded tightly into the breech, and the unknowing would think that something went wrong so what they always do is re cock. Well, that’s exactly what my buddy did and I was quickly there to stop him. I always keep a 36” long piece of peek rod close by for popping out stuck projectiles from the muzzle end. Works every time, but only for back to back, un shot Ammo. Once shot and wedged sideways, well, I would have to resort to the advice given here by others.
My comment above is not a solution to help you, and I apologize. It is not meant as an “see, I told you so”, either. It’s meant as something to be aware of moving forward, that us as experienced pcp’ers make the motions of operation look easy, when really to the new folk it is not. We have engrained in all the proper steps from the fill procedure all the way to pulling the trigger, and to a new person just cocking and shooting left unattended can lead to faulty mishaps. Hopefully you come out of this and still end up with an undamaged barrel.
I keep telling myself to one day invest in a Gamo urban just for the main purpose of being a loaner gun. I was thinking maybe just use my marauder as the loaner but I’ve found the loading of the marauder/gauntlet types of carousel mags are even too complex for some
Good safe idea, but one heck of a mess to clean up.I was thinking. The end of the barrel is threaded for a moderator. What if you got an thread adapter and pushed the pellets out with a grease gun. A high pressure hand operated grease gun can create over 10000 psi.
There is no lead anymore, just two drill bits jamed one with the other.Put the barrel in a vice using wood jaw cushions. Position the barrel vertical with the jammed drill bits on the top. Take a torch and begin heating the area containing the lead. At the right temp, the lead will come out. It might discolor the bluing. Ordinarily, some pressure from above with a wood dowel or cleaning rod would hasten the process, but the jammed steel bits may prevent it. If they have damaged the rifling, then you have yourself a nice tomato vine stake! Good luck.
Already sent an email to the sales director at Airgun Technology asking him to sell me a replace barrel. I have not receive a response yet.Have you had any luck either finding a new barrel or getting the bits out?
