I've got a cleaning jag tip with a cleaning patch stuck in my .58 Hawken. Wooden ramrod broke while trying to pull it out. Fortunately enough of it left that I was able to unscrew the brass base. I can build another rod with better grip, but the thing is jammed in tight. Should I try pouring oil/solvent down? Or will that just make the patch swell tighter? I heard someone say something about pouring 3F in a touch hole, but that scares me that I'd blow the bbl up.
