virgil Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 I have a 50 cal TC Omega and the breach plug is stuck. I'm cranking on it as hard as I can. The tool is starting to bend and I'm afraid it'll crack. Just sprayed a little Rem oil on the plug and will try again later. Anyone have any other suggestions?

turkeyfeathers Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 Is it loaded ? Only suggestion I have is copious amounts of bore butter on the breech plug next time As far as getting it out I'm sorry I can't help ya there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
virgil Posted November 26, 2017 Author Share Posted November 26, 2017 Definitely will use loads of bore butter next time. It is loaded. Otherwise, I'd consider hitting it with a torch to warm it up a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure it will help but then you can torch it if needed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ncountry Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 I've used a good 6 point socket and a cordless impact driver to remove.. The impact spun it right out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rachunter Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 If your not put some lube on the threads inside the gun I use these but you can get the in a plumbing store. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ny hunter Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 I always use a socket on my contender gets the plug out a lot easier...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbHunterNY Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 i think i've used tetra gun grease for a while now and haven't had problems. muzzleloader has sat for a few seasons. i check it but haven't pulled the plug. i think i'll do that tonight. tagged out through regular season so ML might be more opportunity to hunt if i have time.

vizslas Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 i never even put lube on mine. As long as you take it out every once in a while while you are shooting it . grease just makes a mess. You should have used something like WD 40 or PB blaster. my thompson has the speed breach. sometimes i have to use the tool on it but after i get it opened once it just fingers to loosen it. I dont grease it just in case i have to bring the smokepole in from the cold and i dont want condensation in the barrel while its loaded. so grease just makes a mess when i take the breach plug out. All my loose powder get stuck in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't use it for the breech plug as TC had the grease for it. I do use it on every other part and it doesn't work well. never had issues. actually i used normal gun stuff at one time. it rusted a little and the bore butter was the only thing to keep it under control.

NYBowhunter Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 Yes always use a lube on both the breach plug threads and also on the barrel threads before each reinstall, never had an issue. I never use that butter. I clean my muzzlelaoder and oil the barrel like any other centerfire rifle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Core Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 I use 15 year old gray anti-seize on the threads. Just a little, never makes a mess. They spin right out. While at range I unthread after every shot, put some water down bore and a couple of patches, thread it back on without more anti-seize and after each shooting session a thorough cleaning and that is when it gets fresh anti-seize. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveB Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 Filling the bore with boiling water often works. And use a real lube and throw away the bore butter. I use teflon plumbers tape instead of any lube. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
