Does anyone use teflon tape on their breechplugs?

[saltflyz]

so the threads don't get dirty? I was just wondering. I never have, but am curious what the up/ downside might be. Thanks.

I do now with BH209, i love it. If i was shooting 777 or Pyrodex i would probably still use grease. Not positive on that one to tell you the truth.

Just got some...gonna try it, but I won't be able to shoot for quite awhile. I plan on using a bit of grease still.

Yes, Sabotloader put me onto Teflon about a year a go. I use it on Omega,Triumph and Encore Endeavor. It does keep the threads clean, one thing any body thats going to try it should be aware of is that there are about 6 grades [may be some I don't know about]. I use 2 of the grades myself they are graded by thickness and identified by color. One tip I will pass on is that with the XT plugs its good to spray them with synthetic oil after stretching the Teflon on it makes it possible to keep the tape completely intact and operate the breach plug by hand.

Thanks...I have an Omega and Accura. So what color would I want?

Have an Accura! I use the Pink stuff; awesome. Look mom no greasy fingers!

I'm also a teflon tape user. Picked up on it from Sabotloader. Much better than grease/neverseize when it comes time to clean.

Hey, I use the Pink Teflon tape and Slick 5o one Grease on all my MZ's and it does help removing the breechplug. I must admit that some times it is a little more work getting the tape off the plug in cleaning.

I use the pink on the omega and the white on the XT plugs. That does not necessarily mean that is what will fit your gun best they do vary but the tape is not that expensive and it is a good starting point. Lee

I used Never-seize for a lot of years,then tried teflon tape. The tape works very well and is much easier to clean up.
