I know I know but this wasn’t my fault. Loaned it to a buddy who got a rod stuck in it while cleaning(he got a firm talking to but can’t answer how he managed and I don’t want to know). I’ve fought it for a few months and can’t free it but I’m a weakling. I’m tired of looking at it and I’m sure someone could blow it out or pull it but I’m not that guy. I tried everything I could short of a tractor pull. A beautiful rifle though and shot true for me. Rifling was solid on both barrels and fine on the one I can see but can’t speak on the stuck barrel. Recoil pad. Beautiful gun. No rust visible. Did I mention a free range rod 😅 not sure what to ask but I’ll try $450 for it shipped.

It sounds foolish, but I put my rifle on the other side of a door, and cleaning rod extended through the space between the door and hinge. Then I went to the other side, laid down on the floor, bent legs like a frog, grabbed end of cleaning rod with a pair of pliers, straightened legs and it came right out. I had been fighting it for weeks.

Hillbilly gunsmithing...
 
I suppose i will employ most of the myriad of methods that have been brought up in this forum.
having had to pull more than a few calves over the years i have some experience. Hopefully the extraction will be less painful for all involved. i will post the surgery blow by blow!
can't wait to get my grubbies on it!
