I am looking for a 11/16ths x 20 thread Breech Plug. I also want the breech plug with a "worm flash channel" - These plugs orinate from TC's attempt to put a breech plug on a Cap Lock Hawkin Barrel that would successfully ignite pellets.

Several years ago I acquired two Green Mountain 50 cal barrel blanks 32" inches long. These barrels were specifically built for TC. I also ordered two breech plugs - One of the breech plugs was the standard 90 degree flash channel the other was a "worm channel." The "worm channel" has proven to givea much more reliable ignition.

If anyone knows where I might find one of these animals point me in the right direction. TC will not sale one.

Thanks for any help

Could a machine shop cut you one out of a chunk of stainless steel to your specifications? Just a thought.

That's what I was thinking as well.

Also try these sources. They both carry a ton of parts:
Dixie Gun Works www.dixiegun.com

Thanks, I have checked them several times - no luck seems TC has a lock on this particular plug.

I am even hoping someone was has an old pitted barrel that has one and the would sale that so I could salvage the plug.

Manufacturing one would be cost prohibitive - remember this is for a Cap Lock - sidehammer

What about sending the barrel to T/C and see if they will fit it with a plug?

$85 plus shipping

Sounds like your odds of obtaining just the breech plug are slim.

A new breech plug will run about $30-40 with shipping. IF you can find one.

A used or newbarrel will run anywhere from $50-100+ plus shippingif you can find one

Well sometimes getting exactly what you want is worth the extra expense. It is to me depending on the item.

Were it me and I wanted that setup, I would consider it as a new barrel purchase for about $100 total. Which is not unreasonable if you consider the options.

If time is not a factor, I would alsofish throughyour localmuzzleloading trade shows. There is almost always vendors that have the most odd ball parts on hand. I have found some really odd parts that I was back-burner looking for and never expecting to find. Yet there they were.

Good luck!
