My Traditions breech plug wassticking every time I shot the rifle when I used the anti-sieze lube. It would break loose easily, then back out a turn or two and get tight. I had to use an impact wrench to remove it. With anti-sieze lube the first3 or 4threads were burned & dry, and a lot of powder residue was being blown back into the threads.
An overlapping wrap of the yellow teflon tape (double thickness) solved the problem! With the tape the plug takes some force to install, but aboutthe same force removes it. I wrap the front of the plug so the extra tape blows back to seal the threads. Using this method a lot of shooting (15 - 20 shots) only blows back and discolors the front thread instead of 3 or 4 threads.
