have a slug and two gunpowder pellets stuck in barrel after a misfire. Subsequent attempts to fire the weapon have failed. How to I unplug the gun?

I don’t know what kind of gun you have, but i had to take the breech plug out and push it out with the rod from the breech end

It is an inline muzzleloader, thompson, I can get the breach out- is that what worked for you?

They make a bullet puller for muzzle loaders as well.

If you don't want to remove the breach-plug use this;



That's is what you are looking for, screws onto a cleaning or your ram rod, screw into the projectile and pull it out. $6 on Amazon

Bruh, take the breach plug out and push it out from the breach. If it’s too much for your ram rod get a wooden dowel from lows and tap it out with a hammer.

if you use the puller, it may be a good idea to flood the chamber with water from the nipple beforehand

That’s what I used to do, pre 35 W.

Obviously take the nipple out, and beat it out with a rod & hammer. Pour some soapy water down the barrel too.

How did that happen ? Must learn from mistake to avoid future same.

Good to see you using a real primitive weapon. Any shoulder mounts you get done, you can look at them and know that you .......

It's a significant reason why everyone switched to the inline design so that you can pull that breach plug and access the barrel.
