MtMan-List: Help....is there a gunsmith out there?
I've been at this buckskin'n for 23 years and this is a first. After a
shoot yesterday, I was cleaning my old percussion..the patch got jammed
at the bottom of the barrel, just like it's done a hundred other times.
Since I was in my shop, I put the rod end in a vise and tugged gently.
Usually it pops right out...this time the brass pin holding the tip on
sheared off. Now I have about 3" of brass and a tight patch tight in
the bottom of the barrel. I have my doubts that the breech plug would
ever turn out after 23 years. Any help would be greatly appreciated
