I've been soaking the gun in wd40 for a couple weeks.....got the nipple out not too bad, the breach plug was harder had to take the stock off and put the barrel in a vice but I get it 2nd trybut couldn't see thru the barrel.....breach plug was full of powder....had to bang a maxi hunter out bore looks like new no pits I can see... bright too ....got a patch soaked in hoppes #9 sitting where the powder was allmost all out now, looks like I lucked out
thinking now I wonder if a cap would have fired it...not quite loaded but if some one bought it and fired a cap to clear the nipple/breach before loading it i may have gone off
The main thing is you got it out safely and now can take care of business. Nice job!!

Good deal. Glad you got the BP out and the bore is in good shape.
