Default Need help ASAP

I pulled out the muzzleloader toady to make sure it was good to go for this weekend(season starts on Sat in VA) I had previously cleaned the gun but want to give it a look over before the weekend. I did a function check of the gun and the hammer has seized up. The gun is a CVA Optima. I don't know how it happened but it did.

Does anyone have any suggestions to help unseize the hammer and hopefully get it functioning by Sat? I put oil on it today and let it sit while I am at work. If anyone has any other ideas it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Jim

I am glad someone else feels Sunday is a bad day for me to hunt and this is why I can't hunt on Sundays.

i'd give CVA a call as soon as you can. Can you break the rifle open? If you can, try slamming it shut. I wonder if maybe a primer fell down there and got jammed up?
