[QUOTE="NightShade, post: 2902604, member: 29706"] If it was factory ammo then I agree that contacting the manufacturer's is the way to go but you may already be beyond that point if you started pounding on it though. If it was reloads, if the barrel is bulged and beyond the end of the slide where the bulge is I would take and hacksaw the barrel off since it will likely be a lost cause anyway. Removing the pins could work but I am not sure it will do a lot of good with the takedown style. Otherwise I would start drilling out the obstruction and barrel until it gets to the point where the barrel wall is thin enough for the barrel to flex and allow it to be taken down, probably need to use a masonry bit in progressively larger sizes to do it. I honestly wouldn't continue a hammer treatment though. But I would suggest posting some pictures as it may help figure out the issue a little better. [/QUOTE]
