Help I got a bullet stuck!

Wow Ron...that's an odd one for sure. 20yrs? Geez... and I agree, that has to be the strangest projectile I've ever seen. Sure looks aerodynamic
Good job helping your friend out. Looks like you did a pretty good job from what I can see, all things considered. Hopefully it will still shoot ok.
super... its a Hawken, so no removable plug. I'm thinking you glossed over that part in the initial post. I guess he could find a whole new breech and replace it if he wanted and felt it was worth it.
I wonder how many ML's out there get treated the same way...and end up in the junk pile. Its a shame really, its not that hard to clean one up.

I posted it was a hawken right above the first picture.
I honestly think the barrel is fine. I am going to tell him that if he wants to get rid of it I would be interested.

most are removable yes, but they should not be removed unless its really needed. Some guys take it apart every time for cleaning and then ask where they can get a new plug because they messed theirs up.
That plug looks fine, Just rusty coated which will go away once its fired a few times. I've seen brand new plugs that had more rust on them than the one ron shows.
