I'm getting a new vise setup in the next week or 2 l. Have any of you filled the breech plug on one of these indian made muskets? What would you fill it with? I've bore scoped my barrel and confirmed I'm having trouble getting that cavity cleaned out
Could you be more specific? Why are you trying to fill it? Semper Fi
 
I wouldn’t


I wouldn’t fill the hollow part of the plug, that could go horribly wrong.

I’d send barrel to Bobby Hoyt and have him fasten a new plug.

He’s does great work.
Ah I ain't too worried about it! Just curious what people's thoughts on it were. This is what mine looks like. The scope photo is my barrel. The other belongs to leadball loader

You don't need to fill it, just notch the plug where the touch hole is drilled so the touch hole can be drilled correctly. Semper Fi
