Hey guys! Buddy borrowed my muzzleloader and ruined my barrel so trying to see if anyone have a tc encore muzzleloader barrel they would part with?
Sure let me knowI might have a .45 muzzleloader barrel left if you're interested
He basically shot it a few times and reloaded it and left it in his garage! Barrel rusted up and the breech plug is basically welded in! I've tried everything i can think of to get it out!Not to derail your thread but curious as to what happened to your barrel? Sucks when you let someone borrow something and they break it. I've got a .50cal Encore and it's killed about as many deer as any other gun I have!This was 3 does in about 20 mins back in my younger days…

Not much was said on his end. I told him it was toast and he owed me a new one. He hasn't said a word about it since. Lesson learned on my end. Won't lend any equipment any more!Hopefully he offered to pay to fix it or buy you a new barrel?!?!
Already did.Try soaking with liquid wrench
How about acetone/ atf fluid 50-50 mix and let it sit in a container soaking overnight.Already did.
Yup. Tried that also!How about acetone/ atf fluid 50-50 mix and let it sit in a container soaking overnight.
Have tried all that alsoKroil for the breech plug ( maybe with heat).
Before that use Evapo-rust to clean the barrel up.
