Thank you, ShawnT and Squeeze. I was unavoidably coming to the same conclusion, and so put a range rod with cleaning jag down muzzle and put that jag and the stuck jag head to head and tapped and rapped a few times with heel of hand, each time a bit harder. It didn't take too hard before the stuck jag, completely covered by the patch, popped out. I thought, good, the threads in the barrel are ok, but the breech plug, though lubed with anti-seize, wouldn't go in the last half or so inch, no way. It was the only way, I'm sure, to have gotten it out, but I've got no one to blame but myself.
Ironic, too, because when I clean my inlines I always go down the muzzle and clean the breach plug area separately with a brush after I remove the plug to clean it separately. ShawnT, if happens again, a misfire, I'll do as you say to remove the load. Bad move to insert rod through the breech, and that brings me to another facet of this, and I know it sounds like sour grapes, but....
Called CVA and a very polite guy heard my story, and told me I should send the gun to their repair facility in Duluth, Georgia, so off she went packed in her original box and that in another box. I felt like crying, grown man that I am, but there she went. I don't know what they're going to do. But the breech threads had to have been damaged by my own stupidity. But...
the other facet, and that's this whole need another plug, the special Blackhorn 209 plug to shoot BH powder. I had called CVA a couple of weeks ago because I had read that this plug was necessary, and I researched on the net, and on the Western Powders site. I also have Traditions and T/C inlines and they shoot BH great. So called CVA a few weeks ago and asked about this. Another guy there told me, no, if you keep the flash channel clean you don't have to have the special plug. So went to range today with BH even though a little voice was telling me to take the Pyrodex instead. And then the misfire. The guy today at CVA said, yes, the special plug is not only bigger in the channel, but configured differently, too, so it'll ignite BH. He also said I'd need the BH 209 plug to shoot any kind of pellets, too. I'd also called Traditions and T/C too a few weeks ago, and they told me no way did their guns need a separate plug, and I'd been using BH in them with great success anyway, just checking.
Why is it only CVA that needs this BH 209 plug, and why haven't they incorporated them into their new guns? I guess with their standard plug I can shoot only loose Pyrodex. No pellets of any kind. I actually prefer loose powder, but a month ago bought some T7 and Pyrodex pellets just to try them out. But I guess I won't be using them in the CVA when she comes back. Now for the big admission. I really fell for the little CVA Wolf for my son, and for a CVA Accura V2 a couple of weeks ago, and bought both! So it's not like I'm some cheapskate not willing to invest in the special plugs, but I learned a valuable lesson today. The Wolf and Accura have not been fired yet, but guess which powder, and guess in non-pelletized form, is going to the range with us for their virgin shootings. You guessed it, Pyrodex! Wish CVA would just put the special plugs on their new guns, because the guy today there said that plug supersedes their standard plug, and shoots everything. No need for the standard if you get the BH 209 plug. Thanks for the opportunity to get some free therapy here, and excuse long post.
But what are they going to do with my Optima V2 at the factory? How can the breech threads be repaired? Doesn't it need a new barrel? Just want the gun to be safe. I included a note describing my asinine mistake going up the breech, and told them I'd pay for a new barrel if necessary.
