FYI, after considerable thought, I decided to reseat my original Knight Magnum Sure Fire breech plug. After thorough cleaning, I peened the brass sealing end to gain some "size" to the diameter and peened the edges to eliminate the pitted spots. After reseating the plug and torqueing it a good bit I noticed a complete seal ring in the brass at removal. I also checked the seating on the original breech plug and got a good seal ring on that as well. I did then use Teflon tape on the plug, greased it up with Knight BP grease and reinstalled the original just to see what if any improvement all that made.
If it does not work to my satisfaction, I will get out the valve grinding compound and have at it.
I do believe that the Magnum plug eliminated the seizing as it completely sealed the barrel to the nipple. I may just go back to my "repaired" magnum plug.
I do believe Sideshow has the method to cure the issue. Stop the blow back and the threads can't seize. I will have to get some of that Permatex he mentions.
Thanks to all that replied.
