russ, prolly a usa/metric thread size issue?  

BUT, she's out and cleaned up and sized up and lubed up back in .... time to make thunder, smoke 'n' fire!  :oops: won't do that no more!

At least I know now that it will come out, easy-peazy too!

I found this at The Possibles Shop. 'bout half-way down the page.
http://possibleshop.com/s-s-flintlock-supplies.html


Description / Order No
   
CVA / Traditions    12-50-94    
M5 -.8 Touch Hole Liner

Lyman    12-50-95
M6 -.75 Touch Hole Liner   
   
Pedersoli    12-50-96
M8 -1.25 Touch Hole Liner

1/4-28 Touch Hole Liner
With Screw Driver Slot    12-50-97
      
5/16-24 Touch Hole Liner
With Screw Driver Slot    12-50-98
   
1/4-28 Touch Hole Liner
Wrench Type    12-50-99
 

This just might come in handy if someone is looking, and not sure just what they're looking for.

The best I can tell the new flash hole liner I found on my bench could well be a 5/16-24.
It is obviously new, but I can't find the packaging. It must have come in a bubble-pack, fell out, and I tossed the packing, but I can't remember the stupid thing at all.
Don'tcha just hate when that happens!

Uncle Russ...
That liner would definitely be for a US made gun rather than a Spanish or Italian "import" if you are correct about the threads.

My thoughts exactly Rondo!
But....why on earth would I be buying that?  

 :Doh!  I'm thinking a good deal of ignorance came into play here when that puppy ended up on my bench.
Betcha I got it thinking "that looks like it'll  fit" forked over a few bucks and took it home....
Still yet, I don't remember it, that's me story and I'm stickin to it!

Uncle Russ...
It's the many things we don't do that totally sets us apart.

that stuff is a nice mess. Especially as it squeezes out of the threads when you tighten down and powder sticks to it.

Plumbers tape works amazingly well and is mess free.

Like pappy said about fat girls... Don't knock it till you've tried it.

My flintlock liners get it as well, only they do not get the slight overlap at the end.
