Everything then worked just fine...

My speculation... after sitting for almost a year in the safe the BP, the flash channel and the flash hole were plugged with really old oil.. almost like it had thickened and harden in there. I am betting if i poured water down the barrel it would not have made it through the BP...

Like I said though after I cleaned it at the rock pit and reinstalled it - it was like new again...

Some days!!!!????
