Got it - will stop by the post office in the morning. Glad this worked out for everyone!I sent you FB message Nick.
Thanks, Tom. It just threw me off seeing "Conversation" and nothing affirming it means Private, but I'll give it a spin! Hope all's well with you.Click on the user name you want to pm. You'll see a "start a conversation" prompt in the box that opens. Click on it and chat away.
Man, I hate auto-correct! Sorry for all the misspelled words. I'll have to blame it on my smart phone.

If it's a NEF Huntsman .50 caliber, it will have a 2 letter prefix to the serial #. If it is a .50 caliber Huntsman barrel fitted to another frame through the barrel program it could be just about any prefix.
2002 - 2004 use 7/8" Breech Plugs.
NS = 2002
NT = 2003
NU = 2004
2005 on use 5/8"Breech Plugs.
NV = 2005
NW = 2006
NX = 2007
Metrics Unlimited or Precision Rifle Bullet are both options for bare primer 209 ignition. You don't even want to see the OEM Beech Plug with the orange primer carriers.
What are the pros and cons with the Precision Rifle vs Metrics Unlimited 5/8" breech plugs? I've read the MU uses an O-Ring and the PR does not. What is the purpose and difference in these two configs? Is one better than the other?
Thank you.
I've heard that MU is no longer going to manufacture the breech plugs. I read where they were also sold out of one size, but can't remember if it was the 5/8" or 7/8". I guess when they are gone, they're gone. These do use an o-ring.
The PR breech plugs are a bit more expensive, but are well made.
Either design will work for shooting Blackhorn 209, if that is what you are after? The MU is a direct dump ignition, the PR is more conventional with a flame channel and flash hole.
I hope that helps.[/
MU still has 5/8”. On comparison of the 2 types MU vs PR, is one a cleaner more powerful burn? Is accuracy better from one to the other?

The MU breech plug is the more powerful burn. It can light Blackhorn 209 with any 209 primer in my testing 11 - 12 years ago.
Accuracy will be dependent on the actual load, bullet, powder, primer.
What type of powder do you plan on shooting?
The PR breech plug can be modified to accept a vent liner, while the MU breech plug cannot.
Vent liner?
I use a 2 pellet load of Pyrodex .50 pellets, Winchester 209’s, Powerbelt 295 aero tips.
Busta I've been changing my lowes number 60 O ring about 60 shots, how often do you change it
