So at the range today a case neck completely broke in the chamber and is now stuck. This is on an AR15. Any good tips or tricks on how to ge th case neck out f th throat?

Thanks.
 
With a .22 cal bronze bore brush on the end of a cleaning rod, break your A/R down for cleaning and run the brush into the chamber and slightly into the bore, then retract. The brush should grip the piece of brass neck and pull it out when you retrieve the rod.
 
Sized case chambered behind it sometimes grabs it to pull out, it worked in my M16A1 with a case separation (Automatically)
Cleaning brush trick works sometimes.

That worked!

Thanks!
