    I've got a bad feeling about this.

    I would see if there is something that can be poured into the barrel to soften the wood and then use a solid type of cleaning rod to knock it out. It will break apart, but you should be able to clean it out with a bore brush afterwards.

    Leave it in a termite nest.

    How about that stump removal stuff they sell at Lowes & Home Depot? Or maybe WD40 and a lighter...

    Since you managed to get a wood screw into it you may have crushed some of the wood fibers enough to buy some wiggle room. I'd back the screw out, and heat the barrel with a heat gun to shrink roast the plug as much as possible. That might be enough.

    If not I'd load some penetrating lubricant behind the plug from the breech and maybe heat the barrel again to promote penetration. You can let the barrel sit for a day or two vertically to really get the wood saturated in oil. Lube the other end of the barrel liberally before trying to tap it out with a rod. No, I haven't done this before. Haha

    What about a solid brass rod from a home improvement store? Like a 3/16th diameter, tap it through from chamber end?

    I can't wait to hear how you get the dowel rod out of the barrel.

    On another firearm site there is a thread about removing a Bore Snake from an AR barrel. I am still waiting to hear how that turns out as well.

    If it's a tactical rifle, ordinary termites just won't do. You need a nest of tactical termites. Yeah, that's the ticket.....
