Great pictures, thanks for positing. Do you know if the Green Mountain breeches, the ones put on IBS T/C barrels, follow the same profile?

Just took some pictures. Green mountain IBS Plug on Right, TC on left. Both are 1” Plugs

Green Mountain IBS on Right, TC on Left. The Green Mountain IBS Plug will hold about 35 Grains of Powder. The Patented Breech/Powder Chambers are quite Different between the 2!

A little better view of the Depth of The Green Mountain IBS Breech Plug Powder Chamber. If you look closely in this Pic in the far back Left side you will see the opening of the Fire Channel that runs straight across, and under the Nipple Hole

A closer look at the TC Breech Plug, Very Small U Shape Patented Breech/Powder Chamber, With a Much longer Fire Channel

Great pictures. Thanks.
I have a 15/16" 32 cal GM barrel for my T/C and was wondering how it is different from the larger caliber T/C barrels.
What caliber is the GM breech plug in your photos?
 
here are shots of the bore/breech of the tc .36cal. and the original tc jag that came with it.
I can see how the front ring on the tang could catch the cleaning patch on the drilled part for the clean out plug and nipple channel.

I had a Kit Ravenshear pistol built using a piece of 20 ga. Cart. Gun barreled.
Mr.R. Failed to put the breech plug in tha actual bore, but placed it just back of the forcing cone.
This made a great trap for cleaning patches,& my pointing this out did not win me Mr.R.'s friendship ;-).
Make sure your guns are breeched correctly...
