Clearing a Deactivated Rifle Barrel

I recently posted a video where I replaced the barrel on a Danish Krag Jorgensen that had been listed as deactivated. While I was able to save that rifle and fire it once again, the barrel that it came with is too valuable to dispose of. In this video, I take a look at just what the barrel is plugged with, remove the plug and inspect the bore condition.
