Replaced Breehplug
« on: November 20, 2024, 04:59:53 PM »
I originally built this rifle in 2015 with a 50 caliber barrel. The owner decided he wanted to have the barrel bored out and re-rifled to a 58 caliber. He had Bobby Hoyt do the work, when Bobby finished the old Breeh plug would not work because Bobby had to increase the breech thread size to accommodate the new caliber. So the owner sent the rifle back to me to fit the new breech plug.

The owner has used the rifle considerably over the last 9 years and the rifle has taken on that well used but taken care of look we all love so much. 

Here are a few pictures of the new breeh plug and the rifle.

Well done. I have seen  a few originals with replaced plugs that left a lot to be desired. You do nice work.
