Update: So I tried Hawg's teflon tape, and still no success, I think my brother acquired a big tank air compressor, how do one use a air compressor to dislodge it out? Do I need anything to make it work?

Okie dokie!

No I don’t recall saying that. It failed with 10 grains of black powder and it actually carbonize in the drum area so I stopped and plus it didn’t work for me. So yesterday I pour in some hot water in there to remove the carbonizations in the drum and tried the zerk and grease method to no avail...

Will have to go to Home Depot and give that a try

Update on the CVA squirrel rifle: So today I went with the grease gun and zerk fitting. I tightened the 6x1mm zerk onto the drum as I possibly can, got the grease gun ready and threaded down as tightly as i can. On the first pump there was no resistance, on the 2nd pump there was a pretty strong...

Update, shot at my pal's place again last weekend, the nipples work, did not need no priming in the nipple, bought some real blackpowder from lgs, used Pyrodex however up till the 9th or 10th shot, "POP!" I pulled the ball and removed the old powder and dampen a cleaning patch with 91% alcohol...

Fairly certain it’s not a musket cap on the rifles, I used a #11 nipple wrench to remove them.

I was using Pyrodex RS with standard factory nipple, I have to keep priming the breech with approximately 5 grains of it to reliably ignite the charge each time. I have place an order for Red Hot nipples and Knight Hot shot nipples. Also it was around 59 degrees around noon yesterday but the day...

Update, Shot again at friends place. Decided to use mink oil from Track of the wolf, no more fouling or black nasty crud at the bottom of the breech. Duly noted that there was less fouling with mink's oil. However ignition was unreliable, i was using pyrodex since I couldn't find real...

Okay guys! Sorry about the late posts!, Stuff got in the way and I went to a friend's place to shoot out the gun and to no avail it did not come out. I put in 5-10 grains of black powder in the breech, now there is a solid crud blocking the channel between the nipple and the breech. I tried the...

Cleaned the Varmint a moment ago, got a vid of the bore scope going down into the rifle, I noticed that there was smoke like stuff in the barrel??? Not sure what the smoky stuff was, I used Rem oil to oil the barrel.

Hey! Sorry stuff got in the way, i just poured peanut oil down the barrel and it seems that the oil isn’t going past the stuck jag? I’ll let it sit for a week and then I’ll try to remove next weekend.

I’ll give that a shot than Mehavey’s method as a last resort if it comes down to it, will soak the barrel with some peanut oil and let it sit for a day or two and try to pull it out.

It's not stuck close to the breech but closer to the muzzle end, do I just hammer it down towards the breech and then fire it?

Update, got the ball and rod out of the Varmint, but the Squirrel rifle with the dry patch and button jag is stuck in there realll goodd, clamp it to the vise bench and pulled on it as hard as I can so much that the bench itself was shaking from me pulling. Any ideas on how to get the dry patch...

That’s interesting to know! A .30 cal slotted jag to get in there and clean and dry that part of the rifle? I’ll have to try. And I got a bore cam and I’ll try to look into the barrel. Thanks man this is good to know.

First time shooting muzzleloaders and I was trying to swab the barrel before taking the next shot. 🤣🤣

I'll give a 30 cal button jag a try whenever i get the chance to.

I'll get that a try whenever I go back to shooting them.
