Knight BH/W209 Bare 209 Breech Plug Owners, could you...

[Busta]

...PLEASE measure the overall length of the breech plug with a 209 primer inserted and post the results? Could you also measure the depth of the powder well on the front of the plug? These were available before the FPJ, and now that BH209 is out they are making a comeback. Thanks in advance.

This is the one, No FPJ required.

Thanks TooTall.

Does your look like the following? This is a post I did at MM, after a poster sent me some pics.

Thanks for the measurements.

This is the old 5/8"-18 pre-FPJ 209 breech plug. This one could be machined down at either end, preferably the primer end, maybe just a couple drills and a drill press would do it? Would just have to go easy until you get the right depth, then remove some of the wall. Approximately .260" to .265" would need to be removed. Notice, this one has more meat on the walls of the primer pocket. Pics, compliments of Night at MM. Thanks!

The one I measured looks the same as the picture
