I know very little about muzzle loading, I purchased this gun over 10 years ago for $40 and restored the exterior, wood and blueing. I recently started reloading for a trapdoor and kind of got addicted to BP shooting and decided to get out the old CVA .50 muzzle loader and clean it up for shooting. The gun looked to be in bad shape when I purchased it years ago so I thought I should look at the bore and try to really clean it up prior to shooting.
So last night I think I ruined my barrel, I soaked with liquid wrench and put the barrel in a vice then proceeded to unscrew the breech plug, this particular plug screws into the barrel. Well the "hook" broke off:banghead:
So did I ruin my barrel, is it only a wall gun now? I am open to advice if this thing can be fixed.
