I have come to the conclusion that I don't care if I never shoot this piece. I think I will try to drill out the nipples and tap the holes for some replacements. That would be just for looks.

I could spend a lot of time soaking and heating it, but as you can see in the photos there is not much to grab onto. I don't think I will try to remove the breach plugs.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
