I know it's probably been asked already. But what's a quick easy way to clean a breech plug?
This is what I do minus the q tips. I have a breech plug brush I run through it with some Dawn on the brush. Rinse with hot water.Dawn soap
Tooth brush
Warm water
And q- tips
Learned something new, thanks!Depends on the plug but...
CVA OEM is 3mm
CVA and Western BH209 plug is 1/8"
Most T/C and Traditions are 1/8"
Knight bare primer and Savage MLII are 5/32"
If a drill bit that size wont fit in your flash CHANNEL....IT AINT CLEAN. You are yanking your chain using pipe cleaners and Qtips. They wont even phase hard carbon deposits. Ive seen literally hundreds of guys that swore the plug channel was clean. UNTIL they tried the drill bit.
Hex head drill bit the correct size and a nut driver handle to fit it. Use a smaller bit first if needed.
Pro Shot SS gas port brushes can be useful too after you ream out the hard stuff.
