Question about breach plugs

[BigRod]

Anyone ever use Teflon tape on their breach plugs

 

[stringtalker]

Never had a reason to, mine works just fine

Never have but several guys that shoot smokeless do. Never heard of it used on conventional muzzleloaders, but that doesn't mean it doesn't happen.

The only thing I use is anti-seize compound.

Years ago I read a article that Teflon puts out a poison gas when burnt.

Yes it does but why would you be burning Teflon tape on your breach plug threads? I use tape all the time and never find any of it burnt. If that much heat is reaching the threads, you have a defect or you simply did not install the plug correctly. Some plugs like newer CVAs with the QRBP need no tape or antisieze when correctly installed.

Or you've overhung some tape off the threads into the chamber. I use anti-seize as well.

If you don't use an anti-seize compound, you will. Trust me.

Yep. Works for my son's TC Impact, at least.
