It is my first time ever looking at the internals of an inline muzzle loader. My friend had it, and knew that it could not fire.
It is a Traditions Tracker Model 209. The bolt was stuck. After a lot of cleaning, hot water baths, etc, the bolt came out. Now I can see the breech plug. It is my understanding from reading and schematics that you should be able to see through it? It looks like there is what looks like a spent primer(?) in the middle of it with a metal washer around it.
I'm pretty in the dark here, and would love to provide a pic but my camera is on the fritz. Any ideas? I think I might have just jumped in too deep.
