[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1091317, member: 2736"] I went to check on him but he would never look at me. I did move up wind though after I saw he was ok. over the years I have witnessed a few mishaps (muzzle brakes being shot off, one guy shot the ram rod out of his muzzleloader because he had heard that was common during the civil war and he wanted to see where it would go). he never found it. But the rifle blowing up was the scariest. This was the second time that I had heard a rifle sound like that but the first time I stopped the guy and he said to me that he though it sounded funny. So I ask him to remove the bolt and look down the barrel when he did, he went white (There was a bullet stuck in the barrel) we took the jag off my one piece cleaning rod so the bullet nose would fit into it and wrapped some electrician tape around the end to prevent it from marking the barrel. I told him if it didn't come out just bumping it with our hand a couple of times that we would have to stop to prevent any damage. It came out after only a couple of tries. He thanked me over and over again for stopping him from firing the rifle. So I have always tried to help when I could, but some wont listen. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
