Precision Rifle and others are alternate sources for vent liners.
When i think about it, it seems like drilling out the flash hole is just accelerating the aging process for the breech plug. Also, i recommend one spend more than 5 seconds on this project. In haste, one could easily break the drill, and have a piece stuck there in the flash hole.

To me, making a breech plug better than it was, isn't
'crap'. A breech plug with a vent liner installed might just last longer, or may never need to be replaced i.e. it could end up being a lifetime breech plug. It also may end up being 100% reliable with any primer and BH209.

Please reveal which site this is. It would be informative to me, to read about problems with TC rifles.

Using a #32 drill to ream the flash channel in a cva plug is good advice, but enlarging the flash hole just accelerates the aging process of a breech plug. Even though it may make the plug be more reliable with BH209, it won't last as long as it could have. On the other hand, installing a vent liner just might allow a breech plug to last a life time.
