5/8" or 7/8" threads? How do I tell?
« on: November 25, 2010, 11:34:38 AM »
I'm wanting to order a breech plug for my Huntsman, but I don't know which one to get. How do I tell what threads are on the breech plug that came with my gun?

Jared,

It is real easy, just measure the diameter of the plug at the threaded area.

Or easier yet, see pics below. 5/8" on left, 7/8" on right.

TAKE AN OPEN END WRENCH 5/8 OR 7/8 SLIDE IT OVER THE THREADS TO FIND WHAT SIZE IT IS.THIS ALSO WORKS FOR ANY SIZE THREADED BOLT, STANDARD OR METRIC.
