Fireball2: I have had VERY little to do with savage 99 Rifles I just wanted to post and relay how thankful I am your friend was not hurt any more than he was!
And I agree with SS396 - be careful and seek "professional advice" when uncertain.
Now I am NOT being critical of your friend at all - but I would not even THINK ABOUT pounding on a partially chambered LIVE round with hammer and metal rod!
OMG!
Again I am thankful his balls weren't blown off.
Thanks for sharing.
Hold into the wind
