Yep, and it's so fast with the drill. You can do it without even taking out the BP if you wanted to do it fast in the field, or range.

Breechplugs are cheap enough to buy and have an extra on hand. I have a new spare one on hand for all My MLers.
Also I've never used a drill bit to clean mine, I have a solid piece of stainless the size of the flash hole that I just push through it to clean. As I mentioned in a preveious Thread, I've never worn out a BP and I do shoot. That one you pictured Corey is quite the difference.

The drill is to clean the flash channel. Not the flash hole.

I thought we were talking about the CVA BP.

even cleaners hardly put a dent in the amount of carbon that builds up in flash channels.

the gun the breech plug was in shoot well, but I was finding myself with alot of blow back and having to use cooler primers to help my groups. blows any notes i had on the gun.

this is the only breech plug I have to replace. I lost on for my knight usak. bought two extras from my disc original. could not walk away from $5 a per.

I think it very fitting to post this Quote:


It seems more MLer Manufactures today are focused on making the Breechplug better. Im not talking about a (Quick Release) BP as being better, Im talking about what makes a BP just plain better than the rest, and why? Why do some allow minimal fouling and others will blow the powder in your face. I chose the name breechplug when I joined this Forum because I always thought the BP was one of the most Important parts of the ML. So why is it taking the Manufactures so long to develope a Great One? In your Opinion wich one do you think is the best and why?
(BP)
