hawken bolster (drum)

[stosh]

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. Dixie Gun Works sells them, but they are out of stock. Does anyone know where I can purchase one. Thanks

Necchi, i like yours better. Can get one undrilled so the nipple can be lined up with where the hammer is.

Yeah, that can be a bugger.
Track has a tool that's a drill guide actually, for drilling that hole.

I do Track of the Wolf alot, I live `bout 35 miles away so it's handy.

You wouldn't have a exact name or page number for that guide to drill the hole from TOW would you?

I have a rifle that could benefit from a new drum, but I have been unsure on drilling the drum properly.

Looks like what you get is a tube that's cross drilled for the size of the drum,, that has a guide insert for the drill bit, then remove the insert and it's a guide for the tap
