I have a traditional Hawkins. The cleaning brush broke off inside the barrel. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get it out.

Or, go the the hardware store and buy a 36" length of thin wall aluminum, copper or brass tubing that is slightly smaller than your bore size. Push it down over the brush with a screwing motion until it encases all or most of the brush, and pull the whole works out.

For a guy named Semisane, that's a great idea!

I think the tubing will work. You can also try one of the silent ball dischargers the uses Co2 cartridges.
