What is the BROWNELLS - BROKEN SHELL EXTRACTOR?

BROKEN SHELL EXTRACTOR

Case head separation from over-fired or out of spec brass won’t ruin your shooting experience if you keep one of these handy tools in your pocket or field kit. Hardened, steel tool reliably and easily removes broken cases from AR-type or any other firearm chambered for the .223/5.56 NATO or .308/7.62 NATO cartridges. Exclusive, threaded, two-piece design is adjustable for overall length, so the tool completely engages the rim of the case mouth; cannot slip through or strip out. Very simple to use, drop the broken shell extractor into the chamber directly inside the broken case. Allow the bolt to close so the extractor engages the rim of the tool and draw back the bolt to open the chamber. The broken case will eject along with the broken shell extractor.


SPECIFICATIONS:

  • Material: Steel
  • Finish: Blued
  • Models for .223 REM/5.56 NATO and .308 WIN/7.62 NATO Cartridges

Extractor
Appears well made. Much tighter tolerances than the cheap ones. Unfortunately it did not work and i will need to try another way. Am pleased nonetheless.

Added to my range tool kit
Saw a competitor lose a match because of a broken shell. Never expected to see that with 30-06, (but I shoot a lot of US and foreign surplus ammo), so I decided I needed to be ready if I had that issue.

Saw a competitor (reloads his ammo) lose a match because of a broken shell. Never expected to see that with 5.56, but decided I need to be ready if I had that issue.

Need to revise my earlier review
After letting the stuck case soak in Breakfree for a couple of months the tool extracted the case on the first try. It worked fine. I’m very pleased.
