German Hooked Breech plug and tang

[BS]

I have searched for a Jaeger Hooked Percussion breech and can find none.

What can I use to make one out of?

Or should I just go for an English Sporting Rifle?

I want a full stock with a Swamped 31-32" barrel, 62 or 69 cal.

I found a German Flint to Percussion conversion lock that has a nipple guard/safety.

Cool lock Bruce. I have never seen a hooked breech system (new made) for a percussion Jaeger. Maybe someone else will chime in on this one.

How about just a German percussion breech plug, no hook?

Like in the link above.

Some Schuetzen's have a hooked breech, where can I find one?

The hooked breech depends on your barrel size, there are many options available from several suppliers.
The "Tang" to except that breech is also available with many options.
Dimensional size of each is usually listed by supply houses that market these items.
A "tang" can be modified with tools like grinders, sanders and files to any shape you wish.
"hooked breech and tang" combinations don't always have to be purchased as "drop-in", to work for any application.

You would have to call them and see if they have it in stock...

Thank You, Norman!

The top picture looks like a radius bottom hook breech.

I have seen them on pistols, so I know they exist.
