thanks for info! That helps. Track of the Wolf doesn’t
have them; the mould their supplier was using finally
wore out.
they do still have plugs for flintlock and some other
models.
I didn’t know indexing would be tricky.
Got drill bit and taps from them to drill out and re- tap
threads for percussion cap nipple.
gunsmith slightly off on drill bit angle so fix didn’t work.
thanks again, GOOD OLE BOY!
