A guy up the street brought me in this butchered up ml rifle. The breech plug had been cut off. Prob by him as the barrel threads were screwed up too. It was a 4 start 5/8 thread which i couldn't fix. The barrel would not fit thru my small lathes spindle so i dreamed up this other way to drill and tap it. Lined it up with a 1/2" rod in the bore and held the other end in a steady rest. Bolted it firm on my cross slide and let the far end slide in the steady rest with some oil on the barrel. Then i made a new breech plug and cut the flats in my small metal shaper. Drilled and tapped for the small flash screw and she was good to go...Bob
