idgaf Report post Posted June 14, 2020 picked up a used 54 CAL TC. Percussion. Shoots great. I was cleaning it with the wood ram rod and the metal aperture fell off in the barrel. Any ideas on how to get it out? Im thinking putting some glue on the wood end and placing inside of the aperture. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

yotebuster Report post Posted June 14, 2020 So the ferrule with the cleaning jag pulled off in there? Glue is risky as you’ll likely get some in the barrel. They make those bullet pullers that screw into a lead ball, you might be able to get that to bite? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yotebuster Report post Posted June 14, 2020 If that doesn’t work I’ll look around, we used to have a deal that went on the nipple with a CO2 cartridge on it designed to unload a rifle. Just stick it on the nipple and a shot of CO2 blasts the ball out. Might work. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Edge Report post Posted June 14, 2020 Yes, air. Remove the nipple. I once had a Powerbelt round and two pellets of powder in the barrel, wouldn't ignite cap after cap. Found an air nozzle for a tool with the same thread. At about 100psi the projos and pellets came out. I eventually replaced the #11 cap nipple with an enclosed primer ignition system that takes a shotgun primer. Never had a misfire again. But not legal in states requiring primitive ML with cap. Did u lose the wire brush or a cotton swab in the barrel? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

zackcarp Report post Posted June 15, 2020 Or just fill up the nipple with powder and let it rip.....lol. Air compressor would be a safer bet though. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Edge Report post Posted July 2, 2020 How did this turn out? I went back and read this, that barrel pops right off.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elkaholic Report post Posted July 3, 2020 Barrel will come off stock but few are equipped to remove the breach plug, to be able to clear the barrel Most modern barrels, inlines easy to get breech plug access. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bojangles Report post Posted July 3, 2020 Can you re-thread the cleaning jag by putting the ramrod down the barrel and spinning it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
