Wondering what kine tools you guys take with you to the range.  What do you use to clear miss fired/failure to eject cartridges from your rifles?

Usually i just keep a regular Cleaning rod, a small screwdriver set, and my leatherman MUT in my range bag and I haven't had any malfunction I couldn't clear pretty quickly.

Broken shell extractor. Never had that happen but good to be prepared. A guy I was shooting with did have a shell in the chamber break. Lucky I had the extractor.

I tend to go overboard with range tools. I bring my complete chapman set, cleaning brushes, a couple of picks, pin punches, a small hammer, magnetic boresighter, swiss army knife, and of course my trusty ak sight tool. I usually end up loaning tools to other shooters more often than I use them myself. I still bring these tools any way.

Sometimes a cleaning brush can be used to remove a broken shell. The brush may get damaged but it works.

I suggest a brass punch and mallet. Sometimes idiot new reloaders such as myself neck size only, crimp till it bulges, then try running those through an AR-15 with a tight chamber.

Needless to say, I learned my lesson............after the second time in the same range session -_-

We were probably raised the same way...with the understanding that a man should be able to fix their own sh*t.  My range kit has the standard "quick fix" stuff like a cleaning rod, some brushes, a multi-tool, and small bottle of CLP. It's rare to encounter anything those few things can't fix.

Nothing wrong with being prepared, but that's a bit much if you're taking all that on every range visit. Besides, if your firearm ever needs a hammer or ratchet set to fix?  You might be better off doing it at home.
