Touch hole liner

[rinejl]

Are they standard size? Just bought a Pedersoli Pennsylvania 50 cal.

 

[Bearkiller]

They come in different sizes. Pedersoli takes a M8-1.25 thread. Is there something wrong with the one you have?

 

[rinejl]

No, nothing wrong - just got the rifle but thought it might be a good idea to have a spare on hand. Not necessary? Also, where would be the best place to buy? Dixie Gun Works is where I bought the rifle.

You're going to need flints long before you need a touch hole liner. Measure the one you have so you know what aize to order,

I've never had to replace a stainless steel liner; they seem to last as long as the gun. Just be careful not to booger up the vent by wallowing hard steel picks around in it. I drill them out to 1/16" and that's it.

If you do get a spare I recommend the one with the hex slot

Got my extra at TOW. I like the inside cone better on the TOW liner. Also like mentioned above, drilled it to 1/16

 

[Bob McBride]

Yep. Drill out to 1/16”. Tape the shank of your drill bit so you don’t score the inside of the barrel when you bust through. No need for a spare.

Totally agree you will need flint's before you need a touch hole liner. I built a Jaeger rifle several years ago and installed a White Light'n touch hole liner
I estimate I have close to 2500 rounds or more thru the gun and so far no problem with the liner.

I'll add my vote to that. I have retrofit every one of my flinters with liners to this vent.
The vent liners with a slot seem to need a turnscrew blade as thin as a razor and as wide as a lawnmover blade to remove them.
The hex key is a perfect fix.
