Stuck Cleaning rod

Wow, that looks like a handy range box accessory!

A ramrod puller from Dixie Gun Works comes in really handy when you need to pull out a ramrod. --->>> https://www.dixiegunworks.com/index...578,349,334/product_name/RA0711+RAMROD+PULLER

It captures the ramrod in leather padded jaws, the handles extend to help pull the ramrod straight up.

Here's an older brass ramrod puller that Dixie used to sell.
I obtained it from a ML club member when we traded blanket prizes, he received a bottle of Amaretto.

Below is another ramrod puller that was sold by Cain's Outdoors.

I've been forced to do the few grains of ffffg and a cap before. It works. I haven't stuck a roof since reading about the tubing trick. But I would probably try it first.

I had this happen recently except mine was a 50 caliber. In my instance it was only the brush not a portion of the rod so if you can get the broken stub of the rod out you will be better off.

What I did was go to the hardware store and found a piece of stiff poly tubing that had an o.d. that would fit in the barrel and as large as possible i.d. I took this length of tubing and slid it onto the end of a cleaning rod with a portion of the tube extending from the end. This extended end is what you send down the barrel and over the bristles on the brush. The stuck brush slides right out. In my instance i had to take the tubing to the belt sander to reduce the o.d. after I slid it over the cleaning rod. it had expanded enough that it no longer fit. I also put a chamfer on the end of the tube so that it would slide over the bristles with less effort.

Good luck
