i am looking at buying a couple of old barrels that have been re breeched. one is an lc smith 28 gauge round barrel and the other is an oct to round barrel, its a 20 gauge. the lc smith barrel has had a patent breech plug installed and the oct barrel a standard breech plug. my question is with the plug seat. on the new barrels i have used the plug seats into a shoulder on the inside of the bore, well these 2 the plug threads just run out into the bore. both are tapped well and the plugs fitted nicely, but i was wondering how safe it was to re use a barrel in such a manner?
thanks
