7.62x54R Broken Shell Extractor

Broken Case Removal Tool

This United Defense broken shell extractor removes the front half of a cartridge case left stuck in a 7.62x54R chamber. 7.62x54R is the rimmed Russian rifle cartridge used in the Mosin-Nagant and related rifles. The stuck case is the result of a case head separation, where the case tears apart on firing and the rifle extracts only the rim and base. With the tool in your kit, you can clear the chamber at the bench or in the field without driving a rod down the bore or taking the rifle to a gunsmith.

Features

• 7.62x54R Chambering — The tool is sized for the 7.62x54R chamber, so it seats where a cartridge would.
• Cartridge-Style Rear Flange — A wide flange at the rear lets the rifle's own extractor hook onto the tool and pull it out like a spent case.
• Split Gripping Sleeve — A slotted sleeve along the body expands inside the broken case to grip its walls during extraction.
• Rounded Nose — The domed front end guides the tool into the case mouth and chamber without catching.
• Rear Center Hole — A hole in the rear face of the flange gives you a point to work the tool if it needs extra help coming free.
• One-Piece Assembly — The rod, sleeve and flange come as a single assembled unit, with no loose parts to lose.
• Dark Gray Metal Finish — The machined metal body has a matte dark gray finish.
• Compact Size — The tool is about as long as a rifle cartridge and fits in a cleaning kit, butt trap or range bag.

How It Works

Chamber the extractor the way you would a round. It slides into the stuck case body, and the split sleeve takes hold of the case from inside. When you open the action, the rifle's extractor pulls on the rear flange, and the tool brings the broken case out with it. It fits rifles chambered in 7.62x54R, which makes it a sensible spare for anyone shooting surplus ammunition through a Mosin-Nagant or similar rifle.
