RE: Problem with Thomson center
After making sure there is no charge or that the charge has been soaked to de activate the powder I would try the Co2 discharger . If this doesnt work pour some "Liquid Draino" down the barrel and leave it set for a couple of hours. This should dissolve the cleaning cloth and you should be able to tap the muzzle on a table and the jag should fall out. The draino won't hurt the steel, but it will eat up any thing organic like skin, wood and varnish. Be extremely carefull you dont get it in your eyes. I would not try the Co2 after I put draino down as if it blows free it could spray in your eyes.
