So, I recently picked up an early MK85 (blued with a laminate stock) with #11 ignition and an early style tapered plunger as in the left hand image. One issue that I have observed is what appears to be powder burn on the bottom of my scope right above the cap and I have a few questions.
- Does the later non tapered plunger (shown right) prevent the powder burn. Is it worth the investment ?
- Does the later plunger (shown Right) work with #11 caps or is it just FPJ, knight's site doesn't specify?
- I have seen wrap around scope covers that prevent scope damage, any idea where I could get something like that?
- The original breech plug has a brass liner and the replacements don't. Was there any advantage to the brass liner. (Just curious)
