    hawken bolster (drum)

    thanks for the help all. the male thread on the breech plug to barrel, as well as the female threads in barrel and breech plug are all in perfect condition. I did run a 10mm x 1.25 tap in the drum hole just to be sure. Looks like all I need is a new bolster (drum). I can't seem to locate one...

I tried to remove the remaining part of it with an easy out, but couldn't. I then drilled out the broken part. to remove the breech plug, I had to heat the end of the barrel...
