austin & Halleck question

[dawhunt]

Hi again. I have two of their muzzleloader one I hunt with and one thats never been fired
does anyone know who made there sights and were a guy can get a breech plug.

I  have one spare and am saving the other gun just because you can't get them anymore.

The one I hunt with is a great shooter sorry they went out of business for sure.

I have an A&H too.  I have no idea who made their sights, but I don't really like them much.......too much glare for my likeing.

As far as a breach plug, you might get lucky and find another manufacturer that uses a plug with the same dimensions, but you more than likely would have to have a machine shop make one.

I have one and the threads in the rear of the bolt that the firing pin threads into stripped out. Wish I could get another bolt .I like the gun , but cant use it now  .

I saw a muzzleloader in a book the other day (I think it was ruger ??) looks exactly like an Austin & Halleck I'm trying to remember but i'm old  , i mean exactly !!!!!! i'm trying to find it.

A&H sure are great shooting rifles.  I would have thought that somebody would have bought A&H and kept the company going..................to bad they had to close their doors.

It was a new muzzleloader made by Traditions found it on the computer at work. Looks an awful lot like an Austin & Halleck, its called a Thunder bolt 50 cal.

I'm leaving for Coville in the morning with 6 point,I'll check and see if they have the same breech plug and bolt as an Austin & Halleck when I get back  .

bucklucky is it the treads in the bolt or the threads on the firing pin if its the fireing pin i know were you can get one  but no one is making the bolt or the breech plug 
here's the web site for the firing pin.
