By way, CVA owns the trademark 'ORBP'.
Me, i like neither plug. However, it has been my experience, in real life shooting, the CVA 'tool less' plug has some advantages over the TC 'tool less' plug. I won't mention my findings here, so for not to taint the results of your testing. Keep up the good work.
Ron,
I don't need to shoot a breech plug to know if its good or not. A T/C speed breech is in and out of the gun in less then 5 seconds. So when CVA claims they have a QRBP plug its a false statement. They have a tool less plug. This is not an opinion just a fact. CVA also makes a BH209 plug, so they are already telling you its no good for BH209 and want you to buy another plug to shoot BH209. So why not make a plug that's universal for pellets or BH209 powder?? Its very easy and saves the consumer time and money. And while CVA over the years has copied T/C on just about everything why not atleast include the BH209 plug like T/C does with the strike and gives you two options. Im for the consumer Ron, not the company.
As far as T/C'S speed breech ive owned many. Ive never had a problem with any of them. I know they are not 100% BH209 compatible. If you clean the plug and use hot primers you probably wont have problems. I don't like the odds so ill have mine drilled and tapped for a ventliner.
Ron,
Every company has issues. Im not sure how mant T/C guns you have owned with a speed breech, but they have been amazingly good and clean for me. No o rings or anything ever added on mine.
Anyone else looking at this thread own a T/C speed breech muzzleloader? How has it been for you? I cant see me being just lucky after owning atleast 6 of them.
