[QUOTE="BigMedicine, post: 1416388, member: 73668"] My buddy got a cotton swab stuck in a old 22 colt revolver. I believe he may have used a .25 cal swab. He managed to push it straight into the cylinder, and when he went to pull it out it got stuck. Now here is where it gets bad, in his futile attempt to get it out he pull the cleaning rod right off the threads of the swab. Does anyone here have any idea how to remedy this? They tried various things to try and grab the swab, they even tried to thread a .17 cal cleaning rod onto the stripped threaded portion of the swab with no luck. The only thing I can think of is to try and burn the fibers of the swab somehow. I am supposed to be buying this gun back from him since I was the previous owner, the gun is in beautiful condition for being 65 years old. And I would hate to buy it back only to have it as a rather expensive paperweight. Has anyone ever had this type issue, or know of anyone that has? Any and all suggestions are welcome, and I thank you in advance. [/QUOTE]
