Well, with a couple of days left to go in the season I decided to try to take out the breech plug on my CVA Bushwacker .50 cal. It didn't go so well. I don't think it was ever removed before and the damn thing did not budge and I ended up stripping the bolt real good and marring up the barrel a bit in the process. Worst part was the plug did turn about 1/8 of turn and I couldn't get it back. So the barrel wouldn't reattach and I had to hunt the last few days of 09 with my bow...
Question is, the gun isn't worth much (if it was I certainly wouldn't have hacked it up) and I was hankering for new one anyway. But, is there a worthwhile fix for it? It would need the plug professionally removed and replaced. Probably not worth it.
I might just post it for sale real cheap in case someone has the same rifle and wants the stock. That is in great condition. Any thoughts for me?
