    Question on T/C New Englander

    Thank you. I thought it could have been a cleaning opening as I’ve seen it on other rifles. I appreciate your clarification.

    Question on T/C New Englander

    I have 3 barrels for my New Englander and have noticed all have a plug or pin (not sure of proper name) about 1/4” in diameter on the breach plug opposite of nipple. It is flush with breach so I don’t think it’s removable. What is its function? Thanks

    That a great talent you have. I’m pretty impressed with my barrel as I can’t see the liner to barrel joint.

    Relined barrel proble

    Got the barrel back from Mr. Hoyt today and the blockage in touch hole is removed and cleared. I’m happy with work and am sure it will shoot well. Mr Hoyt is a gentleman. I do appreciate his work and quick response to this issue.

    Sorry about your experience. I just called several times and left detail message. He called me yesterday morning. Hopefully he’ll fix the barrel for me.

    Relined barrel proble

    Of course sir. It happens to us all. Nothing to worry about. The gentleman will fix it. Will ship the barrel to him tomorrow morning. I just don’t have the proper tool to do it myself getting the breach plug off since my effort with hot middle didn't work! Thank you for your kind words.

    Relined barrel proble

    Just got a call from Mr Hoyt (I think it was him). Very nice gentleman indeed. He apologized for neglecting to check things before sending it back to me and told me to heat a pin and push it in the flashhoe to open it. He told me if that didn’t work to send it back to him to take care of it. He...

    Relined barrel proble

    I did my research before sending my barrel and I heard nothing bad about the shop so it’s not the end of the world. As a small shop and only phone for communication it’s rather difficult to get answer to phone call. Hopefully someone will return my call. I’ll get it open one way or another. Just...

    Top side of the breach plug on both of my barrels is flat. Other sides are rounded. Thanks

    Relined barrel proble

    Thanks so very much for your generous offer. I believe it is 15/16 barrel. I’m thinking about heating the breach as epoxy melts with heat and pop a few caps to push the stuff out. I’ll wait to hopefully hear from the shop until tomorrow. Have a great evening and thanks again😊

    Yes and it’s what I wanted looks great except for this problem. Thanks

    Relined barrel proble

    Thank you Dusty. I’m not sure if I can get the breach plug off-it has only one flat side and don’t have the proper tool for this. I left a message for the installer and hope he’ll call me back!

    Relined barrel proble

    Just got back my Thompson Center barrel that was 50 caliber relined to .458 and when I took off the nipple it is filled with what looks like cured epoxy. Then I looked in the breach plug and it’s filled with the same. I managed to pick what I can rich with a small pink from nipple opining but...

    Old man back to black powder rifle

    I haven’t shot my black powder rifle in a while and wanted to get back doing so. My current rifle is a Thompson Center New Englander in 50 caliber. But what I want is a fast twist 45. My first experience was as a 15 year old (60 years ag) with a smooth bore someone had made and shot a few pigeon...
