do you think the Triumph BP has been hardened? For the price of they should almost be gold. I reall have not shot the Triumph enough to to know.

Next I wonder why as large as the Triumph BP is that you could not drill it - tap it & install one of the new Lehigh Savage vent liners?

Seems to me you could do that with about any breech plug - even make your own liners with stainless steel bolts.

I am working on it... but soon as I tell Tom about he will take it and run with it... he gets things done

Mike that's why I saved that one, I was thinking about taking an FFF bolt and making a vent liner out of it, just have not got around to it yet. It really makes sense, and yes they are hardened but not any harder than a D hard bolt an F would be an up grade and since there would not be much machining involved it would not be to hard.
I think that once the machining was done on the BP all it would take would be a chop saw and a couple carbide drills. Lee

You guy's really got me thinking here. You could drill the flame channel out to 5/32 then tap the hole top fit a Savage vent-liner. The bolts are not hardened strong enough for smokeless loads or subs. The Lehigh vent-liners and RW"S are. Sabotloader........i just put the stamps on an envelope coming your way. Keep us posted on your results.
