Traditions 54 cal rifle made in spain

[Joe Roof]

I recently purchased a traditions rifle that was made in spain. What would the thread size be on the drum where it threads into the barrel?

What are you trying to do?

I believe Traditions voids the rifle's warranty if the drum is removed.

The drum is threaded through the breech plug. The drum is drilled through to the flash channel. The design was a way to strengthen the breech to drum. If the drum is removed, it can be quite problem to realign the drum to the breech. I also don't think there are replacement drums or flint touch hole inserts being sold. Refer to the voiding of the warranty.

10 mm 1.25

You do not want to mess with the drum!

As others have said, the drum is cross threaded through the barrel wall into the breech plug. then the drum is bored open by a deep hole drill from the muzzle. Difficult to get it realigned properly after removal. Hopefully you don't really want to know the thread size. Removing the drum and replacing with a stub weakens the breech system.

If you need a new drum Dixie Gun Works had CVA drums a few (3-4) years ago. The threads should be the same.

10mm x 1.25 is true.
We ask why because of the Spanish breech systems unique method of cross-drill and indexing during installation.
Each rifle does have a specific install of it's breech.
