Hello all, A freind gave me a cva inline to "fix" He has left a charge (2x 50g pyrodex pellets) and one 295g powerbelt projectile in the barrel for 9 months....
Try soaking it in some hot water, that may loosen the charge up. If not, try some T/C sabot cleaner, I'm pretty sure that will eat away at the pyrodex. If...
What about leaving the breech plug off, setting the muzzle in a hole and with a fuse set off the charge. It would be a little dangerous but at night would look...
You didn't say why you are reluctant to fire the charge. Granted it may be a eww bit heavy but then again, perhaps not. What caliber? .50 is somewhat...
Check to make certain ball is seated all the way down by using ramrod to check depth and just fire it. Pyrodex is not like black powder that will absorb some...
Soak the opened breech end in a bucket of hot (boiling) water for at least 20 minutes and drive the ball and powder residue out through the breech. The ball...
the best thing to do is try and fire it, wether it was loaded 5 min or a yr ago if it fires good deal, if it doesnt maby doo to some moister getting into the...
A well-marked range or standard cleaning rod would prevent that sort of problem. Marked at 'powder-only' and 'powder-and-projectile' would show the user what ...

I have been shooting a 54 cal. Hawkens for several years now. I just picked up a 1858 New Army revolver. My question is: One part of the manual says to "use"...
Never use patch with that revolver. Use .451 round ball. Use crisco or wax or some other material over top of ball to prevent "cross firing" (a spark from...
... i agree with roger here on pulling being the last resort in your case, but if the powder wont discharge there are no alternatives but to pull the bullet...

Hi Curtis- Welcome to the group! It's funny that you mention the 1858 Remington revolver because I just bought a Uberti 1858 and it is beautiful. I used to...
Hey guys thanks for the help. I ended up pouring boiling water on the pyro to loosen it up and poured wd40 down barrel then got a wooden dowel and tapped it...
Don't use patches with the revolver. Actually, when you load the revolver with the loading arm, you should get a fine sliver of lead around the cyliner hole...
Thanks for all the help on the use of patches in the 1858 revolver. I won't worry about using one. But, I did notice they sell little round precut patches....
I believe you may be looking at wads if they are about the size of the bore. They are good for retaining small lead shot in cylinder like a small shotgun load....

That seems a tall order. I doubt you will be able to find a rifle that shoots accurately with both conicals, balls, and saboted loads without interchangable...
