Can you get an impact wrench on it? I mean if we are taking it to extremes the barrel clamped in a vice (leather around it) soaked in a penetrating oil, moderate heat and an impact wrench?
Mine is not hex slotted
I'd like to add it is a very good idea to leave only as much of the barrel as you need to heat all the way around the plug threads sticking out of the vise, and don't don't spare the acetylene, but don't go "red".Do you have the CVA breech plug wrench? Thing looks like this:

Never saw a breech plug i could not remove.
Remove the barrel from the stock. Remove the trigger assembly. Chuck the barrel into a vise. Heat the action around the breech plug. Using the CVA tool, with a pipe wrench if necessary, remove the breech plug.

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
If it does come out, will probably bugger the barrel threads.
.mWhen you get the plug out, PM me and i'll send you a serviceable 209 breech plug-free.
HHello, if u r talking about one of the old appollo cva inlines from the nineties it's not made to be removed. They where a self tapping plug. Once installed they where not meant to be removed. I had one. Talked to cva back then. Said not to remove it. I did it anyway to remove a stuck ram rod from the rear. You'll need a vice and a way to pad jaws. And a cheatter bar. Big one! Plug the nipple best u can I used a piece of wood drove in it. Pour liquid wrench in barrel. Let sit till u see it creeping out threads on other side. Might take acouple weeks. R put it in bucket of diesel fuel. Let it sit couple weeks. And it still might not come out. It wasn't made to be removed. Also might not seal right again. I was told the plug was installed with a machine. It just cut its own threads. I was successful at it. I got very lucky according to cva rep. Hope this helps.
