This is the exact rifle. There is no shortage of barrel on this one, as my range rod can't reach all the way to the bottom, it must be a 32" or 34" barrel. As for the breech plug. Even if I was to remove it, I would have to weld something onto it. I might as well just weld a new hook on. I probably will not get around to it for a while, but I do not want to turn this into an ordeal. I'd like to make it shoot again, and give it back to my uncle for Christmas. Thanks for all the help.
