Kibler Breach Plug

I didn't dry ball my Kibler .32 but I was trying to see how little powder I could shoot with and I swabbed the bore with a wet patch, forgot to run a dry patch down and loaded @10 gr 3f - must have been too wet as I could not get it to ignite. Didn't have a .32 ball puller so I put a screw down without a proper sized collar to keep it centered and proceeded to tear off one side of the ball. Took it home and pulled the breech plug. I have a wrench set from Rice that includes a set of aluminum vise blocks and a tapered wrench - the plug came right out, I pushed the remaining chucnk of lead out the back along with a goopy mess of wet powder, put it back in and it's been fine since! As @olskool stated above, just be certain to align the witness marks. (I also bought proper .32 ball puller with the collar)

I can send you the wrench set to use if you will ship it back when you are finished.
I tried about five times getting some 4F in there. I have thought about maybe some ether/starting fluid...

I have a big vice, but as was said, it is tapered and I haven't found a wrench that really fits well enough to put force on it.

That's very kind of you. I may take you up on it after messing with it a little more.

This is all you need.

i recently got a cva pa.rifle with a blockage 4 inches down the bore. got out my track s/s rod and one of their collared very pointy pullers and got it screwed into the ball in the barrel. after some lube and a lot of tugging it started to move, i was very surprised to find 1/2 of one of those cheap non collared pullers already stuck in the ball luckily to one side..
 
The only time I have needed to "get something out of there" was when I have dry balled which I admit is most usually when I am visiting at the loading bench instead of paying attention to what I am doing. I have never got a brush stuck or the other unique things some have done.

We don't have a vise at the range I shoot at but we do have a piece of angle iron mounted in the rafters with a slot in it that you can hook your range rod in to if you need to pull a dry ball.

I usually just shoot it out because I am not leaving to drive home to find a vise when I still have shooting to do, I did buy one of those CO2 things about two years ago but have not had a chance to use it yet.
