As the topic states, my father is wanting to remove the breech from his Lyman Great Plains Rifle so he can inspect the bore. He has not shot the gun for a few years now and upon inspection it had become rusty. Now he had an old barrel that I removed the breech from say ten yaers ago for fun and I ended up using a vise and an impact wrench however, his current barrel is still in good external condition and if the bore is saveable we do not want to ruin the finish. I thought about using a small amount of heat from a propane torch but not sure on the effects on the blueing. Any suggestions appreciated. Also on a side note would a Traditions Revolver nipple work in this gun as long as the threads were the same?
