Our Remove Bore Obstruction service is performed by our licensed gunsmith at The Freedom Dispenser Company. A bore obstruction makes a firearm immediately dangerous to fire. Our gunsmiths safely remove the obstruction using appropriate rods, jags, and techniques without damaging the rifling or crown.
What Does Remove Bore Obstruction Include?
- Safe identification and removal of bore obstruction
- Barrel inspection before and after to check for damage
- Crown inspection post-removal
- Verification that bore is fully clear with bore light
- Guidance on preventing recurrence
Why Would You Need Remove Bore Obstruction?
NEVER fire a firearm with a known or suspected bore obstruction. Firing with an obstruction can rupture the barrel and cause serious injury. Bring it in immediately if:
- You heard a pop with no recoil (likely a squib load) and stopped firing
- A bullet or wad failed to exit the barrel
- A cleaning patch, rod tip, or brush broke off inside the bore
- Debris (mud, snow, grease plug) entered the barrel
- Previous obstruction removal attempt was unsuccessful

Frequently Asked Questions
Is it dangerous to try to remove a bore obstruction myself?
Improvised methods often damage the rifling or push the obstruction deeper. When in doubt, bring it to us. A $40 service is a lot cheaper than a new barrel.
What’s a squib load?
A squib is a cartridge with insufficient powder that fires the primer but doesn’t push the bullet fully out the barrel. If you hear an unusual pop without normal recoil, stop immediately and bring it in.
How long does it take?
Most bore obstructions are cleared same-day, often in under an hour.
