FX DRS Classic .25 , loaded 3 slugs into barrel, how to remove

[juken]

Hi all
i've done bit of a rookie error with my first air rifle, without going into detail i've loaded 3 fx hybrid slugs into the barrel. is there a way i can remove these? maybe a long piece of plastic that i can slide down the barrel to push the slugs through? or is it safe to just fire these 3 slugs out.

I don't think you'll manage to shoot them out. It will just jam them in the barrel harder. If they are all at the breech end, I would drive the back out towards the breech. Ideally use a brass rod. My local gun shop uses a cleaning rod with a screw thread on the end to pull the really bad ones.

Just make certain that the rod is brass, not brass plated steel. Really anything much softer than the liner steel should work. Wood can work, but if it splits and gets slivers wedged between the liner and slug, it'll make it WAY harder to get them out.
Aluminum, brass, and the like should not harm the liner for instance.

Carbon fiber cleaning rod would also work.

This has happened to me too.
Not with a DRS
The advice above is good
But please make sure to wrap the rod in tape where it might contact the crown of the barrel

The "cleaning rod" method should probably work. If you have a rubber mallet, use that to TAP the rod towards the breech, tap, tap, tap. Don't WHACK! Add a little more pressure to tapping if needed until they start to come out the breech end.

Not all slugs are the same diameter, not all barrels are the same size,small but important measurements are needed to be known for getting the right slug to fit your gun.

True!
But this matter is not about slugging your barrel to determine slug size
The OP mistakenly loaded 3 slugs into the breach and needs to get them out

Don't understand your response. This is about clearing jammed slugs from a barrel, not about finding the correctly sized slug for that barrel.

Despite what the FX manual said something like "if you load more then 1 slug you need to see your gunsmith" all i did was stick plastic rod down the barrel and a few light pushes and all 3 come out the breech end.
