Hey all,
I have a 1764/1766 Charleville replica from Pedersoli...when they drilled the vent hole, they dug the bit into the breech plug leaving a furrow(sorry no picture, it's too deep in the barrel but I can see it). I would like to remove the breech plug, and "soften" out that furrow just a touch so that it doesn't collect fouling right in front of the vent hole like it is doing. When I removed the barrel from the musket, I noticed this little "spline" on the bottom of the tang, like it is locking the breech plug in or perhaps providing an index for the plug. I cannot seem to see a means of removing the spline so that the breech plug can be removed......anyone run into this before and what is the solution??? thanks!!!!
