[QUOTE="squeeeeze, post: 2254268, member: 34065"] Get a longer rod then or take it to a gunsmith. Sounds like your only 2 options if you can’t get the rusted nipple off or not willing to put air to it or modify. Nobody says you have to put air to it in your populated neighborhood. I’ve used air with success to remove a stuck ball as well as one of the Co2 kits made for stuck balls or removing loads without having to shoot them. I have a 48” rod for my black powder muzzleloaders. My longest barrel is a 42” .62 cal smooth bore and has a pool ball on top for added oomph when loading or pushing ball screw into the ball. Threaded ball pullers that attach to your rod work well. You could always soak the barrel minus stock in soapy water for a couple days too. [/QUOTE]
