Grouse said:No offense taken, I have not. Not sure what that matters when talking about a front sealing or rear sealing breech plug. Shoot your Knight with nothing on the breech plug threads and shoot black powder. I'll bet those threads are covered in fouling. Do that same test with BH209 I bet they are not.

I use copper never-seize and I do get a black never-seize breech plug when it comes out.
Thanks

bestill said:With a rear sealing plug still use grease or tape or something as a release agent but the rear seal doesnt get hit directly with chamber pressure and will hold and if it doesnt leak there's less flow thru threads and less fouling in breech threads.
Squeeze said:There was recently a big controversy about pretty much this on another board. Mostly between builders, and their following. One thing you have to say about Hankins, he does prove his own theories. And So far has proven, he does build a better mousetrap. This may be a bit lengthy, but explains things pretty well.

Squeeze said:Arent pretty much all plugs front sealing? even break actions, I think are just timed to have the rear seal close, but designed to have front seal. Some have an added O-ring at one or both ends. Those plugs almost seal both ways. Most Knight, Remington, savage, etc type plugs are all front sealing. Some of the new customs are now using rear sealing plugs.
