Cartridge extraction tool

A cartridge extraction tool adapted to remove a live round of ammunition struck in the barrel of a breech loading bolt action firearm comprising:

• (a) a rod with an end cap;
• (b) a movable knocker circumferentially displaced about said rod and adapted to manually slide on said rod and strike said end cap thus creating an extraction force longitudinal to said rod;
• (c) a compressible fastening means for circumferentially fitting over the rim of a stuck cartridge when in the uncompressed state and under compression closing and gripping a stuck cartridge wherein said compressible fastening means is attached at the other end of said rod and is an externally threaded cylindrical surface that terminates in a hollow right frustro-conical surface with the larger end directed away from said threads and rod, and wherein said frustro-conical surface contains a plurality of cuts longitudinal to the direction of the rod such as to allow for compression of said frustro-conical surface, and wherein the outer segmented edge of said longitudinally cut frustro-conical surface contains a segmented circumferential ledge directed into the hollow interior of said frusto-conical surface such as to close around and grip the rim of a stuck cartridge when compressed;
• and
• (d) a means for compressing said compressible fastening means wherein said means for compressing said frustro-conical surface consists of (i) an internally threaded member circumferentially engaged to said external threaded cylindrical surface such that when threaded towards said larger end moves a cylindrical concentric member surrounding said first frustro-conical surface and (ii) a cylindrical concentric member surrounding said first frustro-conical surface having an interior second frustro-coincal surface engaged to said first frustro-conical surface such that said compression takes place.
