Does anyone sell a 1 3/8 inch english style hooked breech plug?
« on: January 17, 2026, 03:49:09 AM »
I have a Hudson Bay Full Round Fowler barrel that came with a straight plug. I'm looking for anyone that sells hooked breech plug. I think the rifle shoppe does but i don't really want to have to call them 50 times to place an order. I'm not sure what the breech plug size is but if i could order just the hooked plug itself then i could just make my own humped tang out of steel.

This is percussion. But if you needed one for a flintlock you could just get this one and then shape a regular BP for a flint into the hook.

Send AZ Muzzleloaders a message on this site. He bought out Doc White’s gun building estate. Plus he has all sorts of parts on hand.  Rice Barrel makes a Manton style plug as a custom item. Jason may be able to make you one at 13/8.
