frozen breech plug

[cayugad]

My favorite anti seize is made by CVA. Its called Slick - Breech Plug and Nipple Grease. Before I install the breech plug, I am sure I cover every single part of the thread with a good coating of the stuff. It's easier to wipe it off now then to fight a stuck plug later. Also when on the range, every seven to ten shots, take your breech plug wrench and just give that plug a twist back and fourth. No need to take it out. All you're doing is making sure it is not seizing up anywhere. This is especially true when shooting Triple Se7en for some reason.

If your using the breech plug tape, after wrapping the plug, I still like to smear the outside of the tape with some anti seize and then install the plug.

Never crank that plug hard into place. Finger tight is plenty, and then I even turn it back just a little. It will tighten up enough on its own.

Of course I learned all of this the hard way with my Black Diamond XR. That rifle will seize a plug faster then any rifle I shoot...

Good luck with your opener.
