    Rice Barrel Breach Removal?

    Maybe I'm missing something, but can anyone tell me "if, and how the breach plug on my brand new 58 caliber swamped Rice barrel can be removed".

Needless to say I took my fair share of ribbing from the guys at camp but look who came back to camp with "the Bacon". Definitely the best deer of...
