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
Get a hold of the company that made the rifle. Explain that you can not get the breech plug out. Most good companies are more then willing to help. There might be a fee, all you can do is ask. The problem is you waited this long, the breech plug might be junk anyway. What kind of rifle are you talking about?
The reason you might want a company or gunsmith to take this out is, if the plug has been in there that long. After it is removed, it should be checked by a qualified person to make sure that when a new one is installed, it will be safe. And them make sure you grease the breech plug and clean it after each shooting..
