Gun Problem, optimal way to fix it

Alright so here's the deal, I was using my UTG L96 when one of my BB's became lodged in the barrel. I was a bit frustrated and not thinking clearly and since I was in the middle of a game I rushed a bit and slammed the bolt in as fast as I could.

Now there is a shattered BB in the barrel and I am unable to close in the bolt. I'm thinking that I'll need a new barrel which is fine because it was the stock anyway and I was going to upgrade to a tightbore anyway, but I just need to know the best replacement barrel, how to install the new one, and how I can avoid having this problem again.

Thanks.

You could avoid problems like these by carrying a rifle cleaning kit or just a clearing rod with you in the field. I know it may be unwieldy, but it helps.

are you saying the bolt is out?
or that the bolt is remained inside?
If you can pull the bolt out just slightly, get a cleaning rod, and see if you can push the shattered bb out of the magwell.

I mean that the bolt is pulled back from the barrel and that i can see the shattered BB just inside the magwell. Problem is it won't budge with a cleaning rod and I wouldn't want to use excessive force trying to push it out because that could just cause more problems.

Seems to me you have been possum "Watch your language", my friend.

Sounds like you broke a airnozzle trying to unjam a bb.

in an L96...? it's metal....

You need to push the damaged BB out backwards, use a cleaning rod from the Muzzle end, of parts stay lodged inside, heat up a needle, push it into the BB, and then try to pull out the smaller pieces.

Whoa I never woulda thought of that hot needle trick. Looks like i'm adding a sewing kit to my loadout
