Plugged barrel?

[Red Arrow]

The first one was a saint but not much left of the plastic by the time I got it out. Not sure about the second one. I'll try the soapy water as soon as I can go but a new puller. Mine broke getting those first two bullets out.

I would use penetrating oil instead of soapy water. No sense in putting something down your barrel that could cause rusting while you are struggling to get the barrel unplugged. Water could cause you some serious problems if it still takes you awhile to get the blockage out.

I've made ball pullers with wood screws epoxied in the end of bamboo.

I finally got the powder loose enough to fire and cleared the barrel. Now it's time to clean it up.

Red Arrow,
A wee bit late, but great news on getting her cleared!  Remember, "Powder goes in first!"  Keep her clean and keep yer powder dry!

Del, come on across on holiday, and burn some powder!  Many of us have an extra rifle to loan , and perhaps a bow to double the fun.
