Hope someone can help me. I have a Hawken Trade Rifle, and I got a screw jag and a patch stuck in the bore, all the way down. (Yes, I did something dumb). I have tried to get it out but can't. The breech plug also is so tight I can't unscrew it.
The Lyman manual suggests feeding a little powder into the nipple channel and trying to blow out the obstruction, but that sounds iffy to me. I will try it as a last resort but would rather not. I suppose the tiny amount of powder I could get in there wouldn't do any harm, but I am leery of the operation anyway.
So, has anyone had to try this? Or, what else can I try to get that thing out?
Thanks!
