Very very very very very very stuck breech plug

[turtlelonghair]

I've thrown everything at this thing and I do mean everything it's in an Apollo 50 caliber CVA now it's time for action all the suggestions I can get is appreciated probably some I've done tried or all all help appreciated guys

Chuck it a lathe, cut it down until just the threads remain, pick them out with a dental pick. It is a pain in the butt, but it works. You may be able to find a shop to do it for you. I've never done a breech plug like this, but have several other stuck bolts.

Thanks m t y if I can find a place like that around here that doesn't charge an arm and a leg might be more than what is worth

Serial # , if it ends with 95 or 96 then those were recalled.

 

[turtlelonghair]

97 I've tried hot boiling water for about an hour for about an hour nothing

Kroil soak, put it in a freezer then mildly heat just the outside.

 

[turtlelonghair]

Well I've used that oil but no freezer to put it in lol

If its that badly stuck i would suggest moderate heat.

 

[HC]

If it does come out, will probably bugger the barrel threads.

 

[turtlelonghair]

Yeah it's pretty bad muzzy I'm going to do something even if it's wrong but that's what I heard was heat which I've tried a little bit of heat I'm going to take it to my brother-in-law's he's got a good torch and a good vice and a tool to fit it that may help if not scrap but The rifleing is really really good

If you can, use a length of pipe for a breaker bar on the breech plug wrench or ratchet wrench. Soak the snot out of the threads with something like PB Blaster or other penetrating oil for a day or 2 prior.

 

[turtlelonghair]

Yeah I thought everything at it deer man for about 2 weeks now maybe hopeless or a good machine shop with a metal lathe

Free All is amazing!

 

[turtlelonghair]

Never heard of that

 

[michiganmuzzy]

When you do put heat toit, several heat/cool/penetrant cycles work best. Patience also helps, keep at it and it will come free

 

[turtlelonghair]

Patience I have wearing a little thin right now but I keep at it thanks old buddy

 

[Nuallangus]

Freeall is a penetrating lubricant. I’d guess let it soak for about 30 minutes and will come out.

 

[turtlelonghair]

Where can it be purchased?? Thanks
