WTB Slanted breech tangs
« on: March 27, 2024, 06:42:30 AM »
Purchased a couple new unused Large barrels last year without tangs. Have two and both plugs are nicely fitted.
Two questions, first can anyone ID the plugs from photos and two, does anyone have a couple to sell, Hawken style to match snail style. Barrels are 1.20-1” taper. $20-40 ish.
Thanks Tom

They are out of stock, but is this the one you need?

The plugs look like the ones that came on the barrels I  bought from Bill in the early 80s

Possibly from the Hawken Shop in the 1970's when Art Resell owned it. have installed some of these when Bill needed help.I think I have one in the shop I used as a gauge when I made locks for them.There were still a few on Bill's bench when he passed away in 1985.

TOTW sells tangs. I'm about sure you'll have to do some filing to get it to fit. Good luck.    Al
