Just got back from a weekend at the hunting camp. Cleared brush on trails all day Saturday and shot all day today.
I also used teflon tape for the first time - yellow gas/chemical line tape -two wraps pushed into the threads with my fingers - no grease at all.
The plugwas a lot snugger intalling than it is with anti-sieze grease,not really hard but it took a firm turn of the wrench all the way in. Shot 35 rounds with that gun and never touched the plug until I got home about an hour ago. The plugcame out very easily and the threads on the plug were as clean as a whistle. Twirled a round brush in the barrel threads and the tape came out quite easily, looking like a dozen little ribbons. Barrel threads were as clean as they could be also. Anybody want the last 1/4 stickof my CVA breechplug grease?
I wish I had tried the tape a year ago. Never got around to it because I never had any problems using CVA Anti-Sieze Stick.
SIDE NOTE: I had a game camera out for the last two weekson one of my two 1/2 acre foodplots. It had 330 pictures on it, including an 8 pointer, a 7 pointer, a 6 pointer, and at least five different spikes. Our season opens Nov 10 - can't wait.
