So my girlfriends mother found an older CVA BP muzzle loader and gave it to me for free. Its badly rusted and the bore is pitted beyond anything I'd shoot. I'm brand new to bps and am very interested to fix it up and get it to operate good. I've taken it apart and have soaked all rusty parts in white vinegar and removed all rust from all gun parts. Now that I've seen what the rifling looks like, I'd like to get the barrel re-lined. So like a dumb sh*t I tried to remove the bolster before soaking in pb blaster and snapped the threads flush off into the breech plug. My goal was to strip the barrel to send it out to re-line the barrel or try it myself, i care more about saving the breech plug than the bolster, so if I could figure out the screw size into the breech plug I could just drill and tap to fit a new bolster screw. So as of right now, I've tried researching everything I can about this gun and it seems very far extinct, I want to resurrect this old gun, and any tips and constructive criticism would be greatly appreciated lol. Thanks in advance! -Kyle
