Success!!

They bought a piece of drill rod and hooked up with another buddy of mine this evening.  He welded a 1-1/2" long really fine wood screw onto the drill rod and they soaped up the screw with a bar of soap and very carefully, through a bore guide, screwed it into the bore snake and were able to pull it out backwards enough to get hold of the loop in the end of it and then yanked it out. 

They said it took a heck of a pull to get it to move, and once it was coming they kept it coming.

That'll be $2 please.
Glad it worked out.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

Hoppes was contacted a couple days ago through their web portal and still waiting for a response.  This buddy of mine who welded up the extraction tool is a super-ultra cautious and very detail oriented.  He was very concerned about screwing it in and getting it wedged even tighter and I guess he has a hobbyist cabinet maker buddy who had these screws that are extremely strong for their size and have a very aggressive thread pitch on a very fine shank.
