Maybe a gunsmith can remove the breech plug? Would be cheaper than buying a new gun.

just shoot the ball out.I have left mine load from year to year.I just put a cap on and fire it.if it will not fire,remove the nipple and put a little dry powder down the hole and fire.if that doesn' t work.
I have a home made ball puller.I took a rod and weilded a screw to the end(one of those screws that comes with a hanging lamp kit.the one that has wood threads on one end and metal threads on the other).just drop it down the barrel turn and screw as you put presser on the rod.make sure you get several turns befro you put the rod in a vise and pull slowly and steadly.

or carry it to a gun smith.??????????

I would rather not shoot it out the nipple rusted up and i don' t know if it would fire anyway.I will probably try the trick tree climber suggested and see if that works . I want an inline anyway i just thought that was a good price for a starter i don' t want to pay the price for a knight or omega till i see how well i like it.Its been a good gun through the years and i won' t part with it it' s killed to many deer i will probably pass it on to my daughter when she gets older so i will fix it
