What new black powder weapons come with a threaded breach plug?

New? Threaded breach plug is an old design. I have plans for a Pennyslvania rifle of the 1840's that used a threaded breach plug. I'm sure it had been in use for at least a 100 years before that. The breach plug would allow the gunsmith to fabricate a barrel that was open at both ends. Then a plug was inserted in the breach end. This end was drilled and tapped with threads and the plug tightened into position. The breach plug had a tang that was used to fasten the rear end of the barrel to the stock during final finishing. Thompson Center, CVA and Knight all have models with the threaded removable plug. The "new" models are removable either by hand or with a simple tool, for cleaning and inspection.

How do you load a 1859 sharps carbine?
The sharps 1859 is neither a breakable design gun nor does it use cartridges. (at least nothing like we understand in common as cartridge)It is a "falling block" design percussion rifle with breach loading. You open the breach by pulling the lever down; place the bullet into the barrel from behind, fill the chamber with black powder (black powder only!!!) completely full, close the breach, place a cap on the piston, cock it an fire.Normally there were used paper cartridges instead of loose black powder, where the black powder was inside a paper roll and the twisted end of the paper roll was cut off by the block when closing the breach.later on, also metal tubes with a hole at the bottom (similar to cartridges) were used to hold powder an bullet, which was but still fired by percussion caps.Another thing is that there are replicas of this rifle made so you can fire it if you buy one.
