[QUOTE="Troutslayer2, post: 2961055, member: 25190"] Ok call me stupid I can take it. I was cleaning my Pedersoli which has a smaller breech area than the barrel diameter. I wrapped a .223 brush with a shotgun patch soaked in Butches, ran it down there and gave it a couple turns to get any crud out of that area and the brush snapped off just above where it threads to the rod. I know better but I have a thing about keeping a gun clean. The usual remedies won’t really work with this chamber design. I tried building myself a little brass tool to catch it and pull it out. I tried screwing a stuck ball remover into it but the threads just won’t catch. I thought about making a harpoon out of a fishing hook and plunging it in there. I thought about feeding as much pyrodex in there as I felt safe with but it possibly not a good idea because the brush is in there too deep? I can’t find an exploded drawing of the barrel so I don’t know if that powder I’m putting through the flash hole is going in behind the brush or on the side of it. . I popped a bunch of caps, didn’t move it at all. Any ideas? Ironically I chose this particular gun because of it’s increased breech strength. How will a pro gunsmith do it? I do already know not to stick a brush down there and I think I will probably remember from now on. [/QUOTE]
