My only metal working today was filing down a brass jag for cleaning my .58
sidelock.

Im playing hooky and cleaning the shop up a bit. I really need a crew
and about a week.

I got the jag stuck once and had to clamp my cleaning rod handle in my mill
vise to get enough leverage to pull it out.

Had that happen once with a Hawken. Unscrewed the rod, unscrewed the
nipple and put in about 5 grs of FFF and shot it into a 5 gallon
bucket of water.

Sounded like a .22
