What does the back of the barrel on a flintlock look like or do these have a shape ? Like are they tapered or just flat and the flash hole is straight into it ?
Wish i could see a drawing of this !

Pic below of typical breech plug which has flat face. They merely screw up against edge of touch hole. I have a breech scraper attachment I use to completely clean the flat surface. Totally different from inline 209 breech plug where fire channel is initiated from 209 VS a barrel touch hole at base(frt surface) of breech plug.  |

TC Firestorm removable breech plug is a lil different as it's designed to ignite pellets PLUS bp although most use loose powder anyways to better tune their loads plus gain optimum ignition.  |

On Lyman's, tc, traditions etc it is a patent breech, a roughly .30 hole beyond the "bottom" of the barrel and makes a 90
To the touch home liner.
