Muzzeloader Gunsmiths????

[deadeye531]

I have a slight problem. My breech plug is seized up and will not come out. I have used some liquid wrench and all it did was warp the slot. Im thinking about just drilling it out myself or would it be best to take to a gunsmith and if so whos the best? Any advice is appreciated. Oh yea its an older Knight 50cal. Landon

I had one to do that i took a small propane torch and heated the barrel around the breech plug and it came out it worth a try

i had to do the same thing as justfishin. worked for me. just make sure you dont let it get too hot

Torch works good just make sure their isn't powder in the gun.

Well any other ideas besides the torch? Tried that and it didnt work.
