Sometimes, pushing to get it moving then pulling will do the trick. I also will dribble a little water in the muzzle and let it sit before trying to move it.valen said:I got a patch stuck on the jag in the barrel. No amount of pulling seems to budge it. I haven't tried a bench vise yet, but I'm wondering if there is a suggestion other than brute force...

Done the same thing with one stuck in my kentucky pistol. Broke the jag off in the barrel and had no way of getting to it.valen said:I should've given the hot water plan a try. Instead I shot it out. It went a bit faster than I though it would, so I probably used too much powder. The jag shot through the blanket I laid out to catch it in :redface:
