Probably explains why the front part of the rear one is broke . I plan to send the barrels to someone before I ever attempt to shoot it . I contacted Bachelders on their Facebook page to see if they work on sxs muzzleloader barrels also . I've read some people say have a gunsmith remove the breech plugs to clean out the gunk , I've also read more people say never remove the breech plugs on a gun this old . Speaking of the key ways , the more expensive 8 ga muzzleloader don't seem to have them . Maybe they just have a bigger longer single lug .

I talked to a double gunsmith today who specializes in black powder doubles . He said he recommends removing the breech plugs on these old guns unless absolutely needed . I found a nice little 24 ga double muzzleloader that I think would go good with my 8 gauge . I think the brass fittings on this 8 gauge are not original to the gun . I can see its inletted for a straight metal grip . Or perhaps they just inletted it out like that because it was quicker . I think it will make a decent turkey gun . Since it doesnt have chokes I was looking at some 8 bore round balls . They weigh about 2oz which is the same as the amount of shot I planned on loading . |

Id like to get a case but I dont even know where to start on who could do the fitting . |
Peter Dyson is a good guy to deal with and has 8 gauge stuff
https://www.peterdyson.co.uk/acatalo...__BRUSHES.html or you can wrap a frontier pad around a smaller brush or jag |

Any idea what thread pattern their bore brushes are ?

it says they are Parker Hale accessories
so - they'd fit those rods which they also sell https://www.peterdyson.co.uk/acatalog/RODS.html email and ask them - as I said - I have always found them pleasant to deal with |
