I would check out this site for a response and an accurate answer. Not that HPA is not good for ML stuff - but this traditional sit is better http://www.muzzleloadingforum.com/fusionbb/index.php

I would call Green Mountain Barrels and ask them. Maybe Track of the Wolf would know. I know they have replacement breech plugs and I think there is a slight difference in length for the flint and cap plugs. Something to consider perhaps to get the vent and pan to line up. I don't know if the lock mortices are the same for flint and cap locks either.

I am going to guess but I bet it's 5/8 x 18 but it could be either. Pretty sure I remember the fast twist blanks on GM website being 5/8 x 18. I would call Track and get the plug there if they knew for sure.
