I do not own a bp but a friend of mine does. I have shot and worked with bp guns over the last 2 yrs getting familiar with them.....I was wondering how to get the breechplug out of my friends gun after he has left it in there for a year and not cleaning it. I tried to use the tool to get it out but it is to tight. I tried to soak the barrel and stuff but it doesn't seem to help. Its starting to get worn a little from me trying to get it out... How much do you think a gun smith would charge to remove it and get a new replacement? If not to much I'd thought maybe give him $20 for it ...if the parts costs to much and redo the gun. He is kinda a cheapskate thou...hehe just thoughtI'd ask ya'll opinion...thx friends
