I used a 3/8-24 taper tap, and threaded it in nice and easy by hand with a 5/16 socket on an extension. I had to be careful not to go too far and bite into my chamber. Once the tap was seated I ran a wooden dowel rod down the muzzle and gave it a nice love tap with a hammer.Flatland Shooter said:I'm still building my first 9mm AR so have not had this problem yet.
What size tap would you recommend? A 3/8" fine thread tapered tap? It would be good to have one on hand just in case.
I spent the better part of an hour searching for a 9mm broken shell extractor and I don't think anyone has it on the market.
(I've carried a 5.56 broken shell extractor in my 3-gun toolbox for years and have never had the chance to use it, but if I need it, its there.)
Just 1 beer?MikeF said:I also finished a beer during the process.
Interesting.....glad I load all my own ammo.R.Pullicar.jr said:My buddy has had several case separations in his cheap just right carbine with freedom munitions. Then last night I read someone complaining on freedoms Facebook post about case separations in a carbine so I'm guessing this is gonna be a common problem with their brass and carbines
Same here. Can't say I've seen one but I haven't been looking either.Wall said:Btw, I use bulk range brass and I don't separate it. So, chances are I've shot more than a few of these cases.

20 min? Yeah, you're going to have to step up your game.MikeF said:I'm not on your level yet Tony. One beer for a 20 minute job is par for me.
That's the American way.Wall said:20 min? Yeah, you're going to have to step up your game.
That job could have been easily stretched to about 3 or 4 beers, depending on how many friends were there in the workshop. Hell, given the right company, that job might have taken all evening.
Beer would go flat and warm in that time.MikeF said:I'm not on your level yet Tony. One beer for a 20 minute job is par for me.
