That is how i wrap my breach plug and clean the mating surfaces. Just that little bit of tape overlap on the front of the BP made a difference in keeping the threads cleaner too.
Just a fraction of a turn made a difference between go and no go with my GenI. The Gen II does fit and work better in the two of mine ive partially tested.
Sofar im very impressed with the fit of the Gen II in the Elite 45. Its much better in the Elite 45 than the Gen I in terms of primer head spacing.
IMO its nearly perfect (with Win209s) which could mean in some rifles it my be tight depending on primer ect. My Elite was the "loosest" of the 3 DISC based rifles i own.
