RE: Breech Plug Part 2
MOTurkeyTamer
What I have found is: If the breech and breech plug threads are tight they will cut the tape as you screw the plug and in and when you remove it - so not always does the tape stay on the plug when you take it out. On the other hand the Remington plug screws in very easily and comeout very easily tape intact.
Cleaning the plug is simple with a brass toothbrush if necessary and clean the breech of left over tape with a simular breech brush or a brass bore brush.
If you decide to use the tape make sure to tape the entire plug - start from the face and tape to the rear - accounting for thread direction.

Thanks for the heads-up on the tape - I have looked for it commercially several times but have not been able to score, you location will help.
For other tape users, trying to use regular light weight white plumbers tape is marginal.
