Yesterday while cleaning and trying to do some maintenance on my black powder rifle I accidentally snapped off 1/2 of the screw head of the cleanout plug trying to get it out so I could clean the breach, and flash hole. I'm really not sure how important having the screw out to clean the breach. I can't get a drill bit on it to take the rest of the screwhead off, and then bore out the rest of the screw. I know that the new screw will be larger than what's already there, so that won't bother me at all.
I really don't think that I could get the angle correct to bore out the existing screw without messing up the barrel. And I don't have the capability to re-thread it correctly. It's an Investarms Black Powder rifle, that I got for practically nothing.
Do I need to find a gunsmith to get this fixed, or can I just leave it alone?
