Old Style Screw-in Breech Plug Tool
« on: December 08, 2012, 09:34:37 AM »
Here's a pic and diagram for a breech plug tool for old style screw-in breech plugs with the 2 holes for a spanner type tool, contributed by member Sprint.
 
The cap screw threads into the nipple hole and is snugged up. A couple smacks
with a plastic hammer on the end and a 7/8" wrench on the tool usually
works. Two hardened pins for the spanner function and a ¼"-28 cap screw that
will not bottom out in the nipple hole works good.

Great looking design.  Is this

a  prototype for limited production?  If so and price is within reason I  want one.
Thanks

Not for sale, just an example of what can be made that works well.

That is a very good design Tim looks like you can use much more force with it than the ones I have made which is basically just the original design. Kurt
