One more stupid Crockett question

[Zonie]

Another less extreme method of fixing this problem is to make, or have made a steel or brass disk which is the same thickness as the gap between the current breech plug face and the end of the bore. Actually, if the disk is about .001 thicker than the current space, it will seat out nicely and seal the rear of the bore, like it is supposed to do.

Using this method, the barrel and breech tang will not have to move. As they don't move, relative to one another, the pins, screws and lock will interface with the barrel without modification.

The idea of using a "spacer" between the plug and bore end had already crossed my mind. I think this is the route I am gonna take. Looks like a trip to Lowes to pick up some brass washers is in order here. I also think this may help with the lower powder charges not being accurate.
Thanks for the conformation! :winking:
