Default Finally, the Breech Plug Worked

This morning the rifle/breech plug was shot 19 times. Things worked good. The bolt opened, and pulled the primer out of the plug without having to hammer on it or rassle. The primers fall right out of the adapter when the rifle is tilted. On about the 17th shot, a little strength was required to pull the primer out of the plug, but on every other shot, the primer kinda came out on it's own. The mallet was carried from the truck to the shop where it normally resides, when we arrived back at home.





The photo previous, shows the bolt, adapter, breech plug, and primers as they looked upon arriving home.

The next photo shows the bolt, adapter, and breech plug after they were washed. Also i remembered i had found a couple of bullet behind where smucked jugs were sitting, and included them in the photo.







A potato salad jug filled with pure spring water from near by cattle tubs was
smucked
from 375 yard away, which ended the testing of this breech plug.
