No, i didn't plan on it. I really really put the wrenches to it, and used red loctite on the threads. Carbon from the firings, if it finds cracks, will also help make this a permanent marriage.

Other breech plugs with this similar treatment have been good for lots and lots of shots. Do you recommend/think it should be brazed?
