Muzzleloader / Gunsmith Help - Raleigh/Cary area

I have a Remington 700 muzzleloader that I need some help with. I somehow snapped a bronze bore brush off about 10" down from the barrel tip. These aren't like other muzzleloaders I've owned where I could have removed the breach plug and driven out the back.

These don't have a way (that I'm aware of yet) to do that. At this point I am pretty confident I am in need of a gunsmith to somehow pull this out without damaging the barrel tip/etc.

To add another element of excitement, I am in a bit of a pinch and would really like to have this done by Friday.

Any recommendations are much appreciated!

Just take the breech out.
Yours should have something like this.

I have a tool I had built for that stuff. Threaded inside and just enough to fit easy into the barrel twist and pull out.
The old way is copper tube that will fit inside and press it down in the barrel over the brush to capture it and it will fall out.

barrel cleaning Jag might be able to snag and twist it out.

but I agree with Gadget, the plug should twist out

What does the owners manual say?...…...after buying ANY gun or car or camera or …..an owners manual is always the next purchase.

What does Remington say?

This the tool I use but only go down to 54 because all the 50 cal I shoot have a breech plug.
Copper tube does the same thing but not as easy. This is threaded to grab a brush or jag that has come off or broken brush.
