TC Seneca Work Needed

[JohnSmallTX]

Does anyone know of someone in the Houston or Dallas area that can swap out a breech plug on a TC Seneca barrel? Many Thanks for any replies.

while not in your area, Track of the wolf can do it for you. Call them.

Another option is "The Gun Works", they do have T/C parts in stock.

Why would you want to switch out the breech plug?

Yep. Wondering same thing.

The barrel has a frozen nipple. Someone in the past had tried to drill out the stuck nipple and really messed up the plug - the rest of the barrel is OK. I got the barrel in a trade with a bunch of other TC Seneca / Patriot parts.

Well, I guess if it's messed up, beyond repair, then you have no choice, except to replace the breech plug. If it were just stripped threads, you might be able to drill and tap to the next size up, either metric or English. However, the Seneca has a very small nipple, compared to other rifles.

Rat Trapper - Many Thanks for the Guns Works suggestion. Talked with a guy there and he has some ideas for a possible fix - he will have to take a look at it to see if it is worth a try.
