Our Remove Stuck Fired Case service is performed by our licensed gunsmith at The Freedom Dispenser Company. Our gunsmiths use proper case removal tools and techniques to extract the case without damaging the chamber, extractor, or barrel. We also inspect the chamber and extractor for the root cause to prevent it from happening again.
What Does Remove Stuck Fired Case Include?
- Safe extraction of stuck or ruptured case using appropriate tools
- Chamber inspection for damage, erosion, or rough surfaces
- Extractor condition check
- Bore inspection post-removal
- Diagnosis of contributing factors (ammo, chamber condition, extractor wear)
Why Would You Need Remove Stuck Fired Case?
Stuck cases happen for a variety of reasons, many of which can be corrected to prevent recurrence. Attempting to remove a stuck case with improvised tools often causes more damage. Customers come to us when:
- Case separated in the chamber, leaving the base stuck
- Case expanded into a rough or oversized chamber and won’t extract
- Extractor slipped over the rim during extraction attempt
- Steel-case ammo stuck due to chamber fouling or lacquer buildup
- Squib load left a case firmly lodged in the barrel

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you always remove the case without damage?
In the vast majority of cases, yes. Occasionally a severely ruptured or corroded case requires more aggressive extraction, and we’ll let you know if there’s any risk to the chamber before proceeding.
What causes cases to stick?
The most common causes are: a dirty or rough chamber, out-of-spec brass, weak extractor spring, or hot reloaded ammo that over-expands on firing.
Should I buy different ammo after a stuck case?
Possibly. Steel-case or lacquer-coated ammo is a frequent culprit in some firearms. We’ll give you an honest assessment after inspection.
