Screw on Breeches
Does anyone have a photo of the screw on breech, showing it pulled apart, of the EICo Percussion Musket Patterns B, C or D?

I'd be interested in seeing that please - especially if you are willing to take it apart. I was at the Leeds armouries for a delightful 4 hour research appointment early this month in their study...

Will forward a pic and measurements of the barrel when I return home How do I remove the breech section.......as I will do it if it's easy to do etc
View ArticleRe: Screw on Breeches
Do not remove the breech. It is not intended to be removed. It is an interference fit and will be loosened from removal. It requires witness marking. Metal upsetting to rest correctly. If no done...

Mark.....Understand what you are saying so I will take a pic of my p53 and brunswick rifled barreled side by side for comparison. Shall I try and remove the p53 tang or just leave in situ ?
View ArticleRe: Screw on Breeches
Sorry it was nap time. I think I may be confused. Yours is a break off or hooked breech? If so it should look very similar to the brunswick at the rear under the tang. Anyway, my original thinking...

Reminds me of an Indian (?) made lap welded barrel I recently acquired for the fore end, furniture and sights and a lock with the spring that hangs lower than the lock plate and a muzzle worn by...

Hi John Both the p53 and the Brunswick have lap welded barrels as it really shows the spirals when they come out of the caustic / lye bath. Brunswick barrel is really clean and the bore is mint...
