Several months have passed since i modified breech plugs for my self. I very much enjoy doing this modification. I wish i had more to work on. However, i sincerely believe, it provides no advantage for the Omega. Modifying the CVA breech plug is very much worth doing, in my opinion. For one thing, the steel of the CVA breech plug is softer than the steel of the Omega breech plug, and installing a vent liner makes for a far more durable flash hole. Making the CVA breech plug look more like an Omega breech plug, seems to help BH209 ignition, and this makes the modification worthwhile.

One of my Omega has a breech plug modified on both ends. The other Omega has a factory breech plug. They both are 100% reliable using BH209 and W209 primer.
