Breechplug
From now on I'll snug (tighten) the BP down with the wrench and do the inspection inside the barrel to check the tape.
At the fireing rang I really do not like to loosen the plug and for me it is not necessary... But, I would back to Cayugad's words of wisdom for you when you are starting out.... after 7/10 shots with your wrench back the plug off just a smige and re-snug it.... I would do this until you are comfortable with the whole operation...
This along with the O Rings should make a world of a difference. As I stated awhile back, the blow back was'nt all that bad, it was just on the fireing pin area and breech that surrounds it.
Just remember with that plug you are battling two sources of possible blow back. Blow back from the threads and blow back from the primer system in the BP.
I am positive the tape will stop the BB from the threads... and I am sure the 'O' ring will help the 2nd source.
If you look at your Triumph BP you will see they stop thread blow back with the gas rings on the nose of the BP and what might get by that is stopped by the 'O' ring at the collar. And that 'O' ring is replaceable.
So on my Triumph the BP can only get tightened as much as the (turn) allows and no more, wich is good as you know when tight is tight, you cant overtighten it. On My ACCURA I'll just have to find that sweet spot.
I would say that is a pretty accurate description...
The Triumph works so well because you are actually compressing those steel gas rings in that quarter of a turn to creat the seal... That design came from one of the milatary rifles that use the same type gas rings.
At first do not be afraid to even put a light coat of gun oil on the outside of the Teflon tape to help it screw in smoother if you are having a problem... It should go in smooth and with about the same amount of twist pressure all the way to the snug position.
Aint it all fun?
