Working from memory here as my brother borrowed my Encore a couple years ago, and I am getting it back soon. Have been focusing on sidelocks since, so please excuse if this sounds unreasonable or foolish.
So, I’m aware of drilling and tapping the bottom end of the breech plug to accept a touchhole, but has anyone tried to simple d/t to 1/4x28 and thread a nipple in from the barrel end? Nipples are readily available here in Canada but touch holes not so much. I know I can just make a touch hole from a bolt. And I know a nipple wont work with pellets, but I only use loose powders.
Thoughts?
