Knight breech plug cleaning?

eatsleephunt · 02-12-2008, 07:14 PM

Have a question regarding in-field stripping and cleaning of the knight breech plugs for the disc extreme. On my old hawken I just had a paper clip bent around my capper/nipple wrench so I could scrape any residue/build-up out of the nipple.

The knight breech plug hole is freakin' tiny, and I wonder what a guy could have on hand that would work for that, or if it is not a concern with 777 powder and win. 209 primers.

In my Knight Disc which also has the same breech plug, I have shot over thirty rounds and never had a misfire. I swab between the shots, and never found a build up. Perhaps find a high E (1st)of a guitar string. That should slip through there...

I picked up some torch tip cleaners at LOWES for a few buck. It stays in my shooting bag.

a sowing needle works great for clearing out the hole.
