Apollo Breech plug help?
 

I think I got this in 1990. I am not sure this breech plug comes out. I don’t remember ever taking it out. I can’t get it out right now. Let it soak, heated with a torch, no luck , twisted the ears of a breech plug tool trying. I think I’ll call CVA Monday.

Looks to me like the plug is out. Of course I never messed with an Apollo. That's some pretty bad pitting you've got there. Are you sure you wouldn't rather purchase anew?

Just got it out the other day, bedded the stock ( for practice) and it shot the three types of bullets I tried under 1" @ 80 yards. Don’t know if I’ll hunt with it but I got sevral person in my family to equip with ML’s.

thats a breech plug with a #11 nipple that screws in. By the look of all of that rust, i would recommend that you buy a new rifle. That i would not feel safe with.

Cut the barrel in half and throw it out.

I am not sure, but I think there was some kind of recall on Apollos wasn't there?

I called them a couple of years ago- this was not one. Thanks

I would agree with frontier gander. It is obviously a bad case of neglect. If that breech plug hasn't been out of there for 18 years, I doubt like heck if anyone could get it out. You can find some quality used inlines at a bargain. I would scrap it.
