Without going into the embarrassing details my ram rod got stuck with a cleaning patch at the range this weekend. When I got home I decided to take off the barrel and remove the breech plug and push it through. When I removed the barrel, what apeared to be the breech plug (I am new to the sport and have never really seen a breech plug) had no obvious way to remove it. I tried turning it but gave up because I was causing some minor damage trying to grip it with the wrench. I was eventually able to pull out the rod. I have ordered a "range rod".
I give up, how do you remove a breech plug? I assume its somewhat rifle specific but I would like to know the common options so I will never have to ask again.
P.S The 2 shots(first ever with BP) that were fired prior to getting the rod stuck were tremendous. At this rate it should only take me about 4 years to break in the barrel.
Thanks. TLD.
