RE: Stuck Breech Plug HELP
Never heard of a Traditions 2000! Is a commemorative rifle? What is the "real" model name... ie... Deerhunter, Panther, E-Bolt... etc? Is it a sidelock or inline?
Generally, sidelocks come with permanent (non-removable) breechplugs. Inlines come with a breechplug installed -- but never greased & ready for range work. All new rifles need to be thoroughly dismantled & cleaned first. No manufacturer is responsible for stuck breechplugs with inlines upon shipment to their distributors.
