I've always installed breechplug and had it and barrel inletted then drill for drum.
Couple times I've got about 1/8th in. Into face of breechplug. Should I keep it so the
Threads of drum just clear breech plug face?
Another question should I remove breech plug before drilling for drum. I figure if I do that then I can screw drum in and look to see if it protrudes into the bore any which I would think you don't want as it makes use of breech plug scrape kinda difficult.
