Did it snap off inside the barrel? If it did I had this happen to me. The brush came off the end of my ramrod at the bottom of the barrel. I had given up trying to get it out. So I put gorilla glue on the end of my ram rod and pushed it back onto the brush. I let it dry for days. I went back and pulled it right out.

 

I see. Will a small pair of long needle nose get in there?

 

Needle nose would have to be about 36" long

 

If there is a patch on the brush, you could pour about 10 or 15 grains of powder through the hole on the side of the barrel and literally shoot it out. Point it at the ground so you'll know it came out. Helped a friend get a patch and roundball out when he forgot to put his powder in first. I don't think it will work if it's just a brush with no patch behind it.

 

There is a patch. I'll do some research. Might try that if all else fails. Thx

 

This might be a little safer than trying to shoot it out. It is a co2 load discharge kit.

Interesting. I was considering trying an air compressor.

 

If it is in the barrel it will not blow out with air. I am assuming that the brush fits in the barrel very tight. I called a master gunsmith when I had it happen. He said it is usually a 50/50 shot on getting it out.

It won't hurt anything.

 

At least you didn't dry ball it in front of 50 people on the firing line. God knows we've all been there once or twice.

And if I ever did, not that have..I would push. It out with the primer.

 

Doesn't the breech plug/tang unscrew from the barrel

 

The part in the pic stick our from the back of the barrel appears that it threads in, but I've used all my mite and couldn't budge it in the past

 

Read where a guy got a 3 foot section of 3/8 copper tubing at the autoparts store - flaired the end and pushed it down the bore over the brush - the brush went inside the tubing and he said he pulled it out real easy - dang :mischeif:

 

Well what do you know. Turns out the back of the barrel is actually a breech plug. It truly looked like there were 2 weld points on it. But quality vice grips and a big ass hammer knocked it loose!!!! Thanks for all the help guys!

 

breech plugs are nice...on my inline i can pull the breech plug and drop out the pellets and push the projectile out with ease...and if needed its easier to get stuck stuff out...i did like reading the remedies though on how to get it out...:biggrin:
