Stuck Breech Plug on Disc Extreme

[Griiz]

I haven't had any problem getting my plug out since I started using anti-seize lubricant. Been using it for 7-8 years.

Hey Mike,

What is that brush made of?  It doesn't look like copper.  Is it a steel brush? What size?

Thanks,

Jesse

No it is a Montana X-Treme fiber brush.... I seldom if ever use a brass brush...

On the list of brushes it is the 20 guage brush but if you use this one you need an adapter to getr from 10/32 to the brush tread size.. You can see the adapter in the picture...

I see they make one for a 50 cal muzzle loader.  Do you not use that one?

I do have one but you need a slightly larger one for the breech plug hole - although the 50 could work...

I had the same trouble but don't have any issue any more.  I learned that when tightening it, you don't have to crank it down.  Just turn it until it barely snugs and that is it.  There are enough threads on the plug that you don't have to worry about it.  Just barely tight and then it will come out every time.  I don't think tape is necessary if you do as I say above.  I was shooting my disc extreme a lot before last season and never had a problem after I learned to barely snug it down.  Good luck.

I personally believe you have made the correct decision when it comes to installing the BP - snug to the BP shelf in the bore.  Maybe a little more snug to the shelf if you are not protecting the threads. 

My self - i would never trust it without tape or grease for an extended range session shooting T7.  I am not sure about the Pyros or real BP because I do not know abouttheir ability to seize like T7 can.
