I'm thinking out loud here....
On a drilled vent for a flintlock.,..
Take 16 th pin stock and insert into the vent.
Unbreeched grab the pin stock with some needle nose pliers and feed....pull the wire out the breech.
Heat or cold forge a paddle on the end of the wire.
Stone edges on each side of the little paddle.
Pull the wire from the vent until the paddle is against the inside edge of the vent.
Straighten or shorten the wire.
Chuck it up in a drill.... pull and cut an inside cone.
When done pull it out the breech with pliers.
It seems like it may work but I don't know if the music wire is maleable enough to feed through the vent and out the breech.
