Does anyone have any experience removing a stuck sliding wooden patch box lid?
I have a Pedersoli Jaeger that a PO built out of a kit from Dixie, and it seems that they might not have fit the dovetail and drove it into place. I see no evidence of it being glued in.
Having slung wrenches for years, the image I have in my head for removal consists of a lag bolt in a piloted hole and some sort of slide hammer. Is this overkill?![Face with tears of joy :joy: 😂](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f602.png)
I have already placed an order with Pedersoli for a new one, as this one is probably going to be destroyed or disfigured in the process of removal.
Any ideas? I’m not much of a woodworker….yet…![5A43F4D6-EAC7-47CF-A9AA-C51672B610C4.jpeg 5A43F4D6-EAC7-47CF-A9AA-C51672B610C4.jpeg](https://cdn2.imagearchive.com/muzzleloadingforum/data/attachments/149/149381-c13bb6487c9e6dab42790c9d9cb0bbb8.jpg)
