Does anyone have an original Enfield breach plug they'd part with? It doesn't have to be in good shape, the gun is pretty-much a beater, just reasonably priced. It's for an older gentleman I met at a living history event who has a well-worn Enfield that for some reason is missing the breach plug and tang. I checked with Daniel Whitacre but the price to make a new one just isn't worth it and a new one wouldn't look right anyway. He also needs a tang screw.

Be aware there is no universal Enfield breech plug. The Enfield/Tower rifled- muskets were not made with interchangable parts, so each breech plug was made for a singular barrel, and will probably fit that barrel alone.
