Did you try removing the barrel and applying heat to it and then attempt to remove plug ? If so Traditions would have one or if you have time try all the classifieds.

Call Traditions on the phone. Tell them your problems. We would sure be interested in their response. If worse comes to worse, take the barrel to a gunsmith and have him remove the plug, or send it to Traditions. They will remove the plug and can check the barrel. If the rifle does need a new barrel, they could supply that as well.

This is a good time to point out. There are rifles coming out that claim quick release breech plugs. I was told some of them claim the plug needs no anti seize or Teflon tape. While that all sounds good... I would not put my faith in the company hype or their word. They are trying to sell a product and will promise about anything to do so. A little anti seize goes a long way. Or a simple wrap of tape.

Also get them plugs out ASAP after shooting. The longer you leave them in the gun the harder they can be to remove.
