As you may know from my other post below. I have boogered up the flats on the clean out plug (little screw just under the nipple) on my .50 cal TC percussion hawkins rifle. I called TC to get a replacement plug and the lady on the other end of the phone told me that TC no longer sells the clean out plug. She informed me that TC re-designed their Hawkins guns to eliminate the clean out plug and that I should send my barrel into TC and they will replace the breech free of charge because the old style stripped out. I think she was meaning the threads machined into the barrel, however I tried to explain that I was just wanting the little screw. She confirmed that if I wrote a letter to TC and sent my barrel in to them, they would replace my breech to the new style and send my barrel back to me free of charge. All of this seems to be a little too good to believe. My question to you all is this.
Does anyone know if TC re-designed their barrel to eliminate the clean out plug just under the nipple on these guns?
Do you think this offer is on the up and up. I would hate to send in my barrel for a .50 screw.
Anyone know where a guy can purchase on of these clean out plug/screws online? I think I am going to leave these in from now on and just clean the gun through the whole after removing the nipple.
Thanks
