Breech plug removal?

[Spikefrb]

Gents
Have a buggered up barrel on a left-handed T/C Renegade .54 cal.
Question...Is it possible for a gunsmith to remove the breech plug and snail?

 

[OldRust]

Yes, If they have the TC Renegade 1" breech plug removal wrench along with their barrel vise. TC installed those guys tight.

Thanks,
O.R.

Spikefrb, I bought mine off ebay. It has been a few years but I think it was about $20 for each size I bought. Good luck.

That's where I bought mine & I believe that's what I paid for it.

And a set of Rice vise jaws are a good thing to have too though you may not want to spend the 55 bucks if you don't think you'll use them again.

Like Bubba says on the vice jaw's and you need a real solid vise. Not trying to scare you away from the project but to give you an idea of the tightness of the TC plugs. I have a regular gun barrel vice about waist high on my bench and I use a 24" antique RR monkey wrench on the TC adapter. I put my foot on the end of the wrench and my almost 280# helps to pop the breech plug loose. I don't know of any as tight as the TC's.

Thanks

With my 16 " RR monkey wrench and 8" vice I used to remove my TC breech plug. I even removed the barrel from a 1917 Obendorf unmentionable. I cut a V in a 2 x 4 and used to hold the barrel, no problem.
