Thompson Center Hawken Breech Plug - 24hourcampfire
Dec 15, 2016 · Thanks for the leads , but no luck I tried green mountain thinking they may still have a few but they said that tc discontinued the plug and they stopped making drop in barrels. I will call out to Joe and inquire. The original barrel is with the rifle and was trying to avoid removing that plug because I had heard it could end badly.

Oct 8, 2008 · The breech plug should be removed to lap the barrel any way.

Encore Breech plug removal? - GON Forum
Dec 20, 2008 · Can someone tell me how to remove the breech plug on a 209X50 cal enocre barrel? I bought it used and do not have the removal wrench. Even if I had it I believe I still wouldn't know what to do with the extractor in front of the plug. It seems to me that it is in the way of simply unscrewing the plug. Thanks in advance!
