We had a re-enacting club and have shot litterely thounsands of rouns in the last 15 years. It took a lot of researh and experimenting to get those old rifles to shoot the way they should.
Removing rod. Note there is a groove in the rod that engages a stud in the stock. You have to pull down on the end of the rod to clear that stud and then pull it out.
A favourite trick of the old hands to pull on the newbies was to substitute a rifle round for the carbine round on the range. The recoil is noticeably different;)
