You can see the outside, the inside has a hole smaller than the bore drilled into it about 5/8". The nipple is in a piece that goes into the breech plug large hole , it's called the drum.
The plug is male thread, the barrel is female thread.
Don't try to remove it.!!!!!!!
It should look something like this.

You are welcome. Your's will not be exactly like the photo but close enough to give you the idea of how they work.
