I'd love to shoot this thing tomorrow on my day off, but seeing as its covered in packing grease with a stuck wedge, I need some help here.
How on earth do I get the wedge out of this new Pietta 1851? I've taken apart a few of these types of open top black powder Colts before but this wedge is stuck in there good.
I've read in the archives about a hooked wedge spring on some Piettas. With all the force I can muster on a plastic punch, I can compress that spring but how can I whack the wedge at the same time?
