Good for you. Next time get the bore brushes that have the wire going through a crosswise hole in the base and are then twisted. They don't pull off.

Roundball turned me onto the trick of pushing a copper tube longer than barrel-length and just under bore diameter down over the brush to collapse it and then just pull it out.

AFTER I had pulled a breech plug. D'oh!

Bahh ... waste of time (to me, respectfully). I just shot one out the other day, recovered it too! And then I continued shootin' that day ... took but seconds to dribble and pick some 3F in via the touchhole.

Good idea though! I would use it at 'home', if/when needed.

better to use the stiff plastic brushes (nylon?) for BP guns. not mear as likely to get stuck.

So many good ideas to remove the brush. Heck, I can't wait till it happens again. Thanks guys

Several good ideas to file away and hope I never have to use any of them...LOL. I have found that sometimes when a brush gets stuck, if I twist the rod and brush (righty-tighty) while pulling it out that the bristles fold back enough to let the brush pull out.
