Mike in MichiganHooked Breech Plug Source??
I get a considerable number of CVA .50 cal percussion muzzle loaders coming in with damaged breech plugs. Often with broken hooks because the owner did not remove the nipple assembly before attempting to remove the plug. These are the pre-inline style with nipple on the side of the barrel and a hooked breech plug. My question is: Is anyone making replacement hooked breech plugs. I have checked Dixie, ebay, Midway, Brownell, Amazon, and general searches with no success. I can make one but figure a ready made one will be cheaper for the customer. Any leads on this greatly appreciated.
