I had the same thing happen to mine. I used a piece of metal rod and tapped it with a hammer gently to get the shell fragment out. One a side note the
reason why the Mosin Nagant will do this frequently, is because of the laquer that is on the ammo. most ammo available for that is either surplus or
comes from old Soviet Bloc countries and most will have that laquer. The laquer essentially melts and leaves a residue in the chamber once fired, over
time it will build up. So, there are only a few things you can do to combat it..1. Buy non laquered ammo, 2. Reload your own...3. Make sure you clean
the rifle with a solvent.
