Again though, how do you ascertain what the obstruction is?I'll bet is a T/C poly patch.
I’d like to hear from the OP how he knows?

Ok I'll wait for his reply before I tell you the answer.I’d like to hear from the OP how he knows?
A few years back a rifle was found in NV, park I believe but it was I believe an old lever gun and had been there for many decades. I think the tree even started to grow around it if memory serves.
Lol. If you have the answer please proceed. I’m stumped.Ok I'll wait for his reply before I tell you the answer.

Unless he pulled the projectile out of the sabot already. Hmmm...

I had same issue with a M.L. sat for 20 years with a ball in it i couldn't get it out had to remove the breech plug that was a choreI have a T/C Hawken that has a sabot stuck in barrel. The gun was found on private land in summer posted up against a tree. Is a grease fitting and grease good to push sabot out? Not sure how long it sat, so don’t know how nasty it is in powder. Barrel looks good otherwise.
It’s a full load. Packed all the way down.Is it just the plastic sabot or the whole shebang, sabot and bullet, also how far down the barrel is it.
Well if you read my post...it’s private land. My buddy has 10 acres in a major city that’s mostly woods. We were looking through property and walked up on it. I would say it was there at least a couple months.My past life still calls to me and i wonder, like more than a few of you...
1. Is this public or private land?
2. Does the condition of said rifle give an indication as to how long it had been there, and is it possible to guess as to “not longer than____ but longer than____”?
3. Any missing person reports around that time frame?
4. Related to #1 above, any chance of going back and making reasonably sure the previous owner’s remains aren’t to be found a short distance away?

Being nice, you might leave a note in plastic bag tacked to the tree. If he returns and calls, ask what he was doing on private land and make a friend or enemy out of him,,,,your choice. Or just keep it figuring if he was dumb enough to leave it and you can fix it, It's yours.Well if you read my post...it’s private land. My buddy has 10 acres in a major city that’s mostly woods.

I can look in barrel and see lead bulletI'll bet is a T/C poly patch.
My buddy (who’s land it was) has had it 1.5 years. I asked him what ever come of it and he said nothing. I asked him if he would let me remove bullet and get it shooting. He gave it to me.Being nice, you might leave a note in plastic bag tacked to the tree.

No gun hunting even allowed where it was found.Well if you read my post...it’s private land. My buddy has 10 acres in a major city that’s mostly woods. We were looking through property and walked up on it. I would say it was there at least a couple months.
