Need a Giant Hawken Breech Plug

[Headhunter]

Hey Guys, I am looking for a Hawken Percussion Breech plug, Hooked or solid for a barrel that measures 1-5/16ths across the flats. It's for a .69 Cal Hawken project. I do not want to go Flint with this rifle, and I do not want to use a drum.

Got any ideas who makes them is gigantic sizes?

Biggest one I can find is 1 1/8

You could call L&R, they may have know of a place

Check with the barrel maker. You might try The Gun Works aka Oregon Barrel Co. if the barrelmaker is no longer there or has no suggestions.

Make a blueprint, any good machinist should be able to make one.

talk to your local machine shop take one in with you and ask them to enlarge it to the proportions you need

You guys must have some rare breed machine shops. The ones near me won't touch anything gun related. Too much liability.

I bought one like that from the Gun Works a few years back

Locally within 20 miles of me are over 30 firearms manufacturing related companies. Machinists here don't blink an eye, as many of them do some home gun building them selves, and the vast majority are also shooters.

I need to move near you. I've learned to do a lot of my own stuff because of liability concerns in my state. It's a very litigious place.

A hacksaw and files and plenty of spare time. If some kid in Pakistan can make a 303 enfield with hand tools, so can you with some guidance.

I asked a master machinist if he wanted me to line him up with a fellow who needed a large patent breech. He said "NO", loudly. If you find one who will do it expect to pay quite a bit.

Good point, there is a fair amount of set up to do something like a breech plug, it will cost a goodly amount.
