Fitting a breechplug??
« on: May 25, 2024, 01:26:33 AM »
Before I do start, just wondering if there might be a tutorial on here (could not see anything) about fitting a breech plug in a barrel?
I have done these before and pretty confident I can again, but it was not the easiest thing I ever did.
Biggest problem is that the barrel already has tenons cut for underlugs and front sight,  So I have to match that up too.
Perhaps there are some little tricks or methods that I am not aware of I could learn?
Many thanks....

here's one...

it is specifically for a Hawken style plug, but the principals and procedure are the same for most applications.
