I used a brass screw with a round slotted head from Mitre 10. I chose the size that was about twice as big as the bore. I think it could have been smaller. I checked the head of the screw for flaws...

I’m a fan of ‘old school’ quality but new. A good example is Schultz and Larsen. Metal work of refined quality, cut rifles barrels, and extremely accurate. To make modern rifles economic, mass...

Mudgripz post #31 sums it up nicely! From the late 50's to the early 70's, I used a Lithgow single shot as a "field" rifle - That little gun taught me how to shoot straight and make the first shot...
