Breech Plug Bevel or Draft
« on: June 13, 2015, 08:22:36 AM »
At some point in the past two years I bought a swamped Rice barrel(at least I'm pretty sure it was a Rice), and the sides of the breech plug that came with it were machined to a nice taper. :)     
 
I have no idea who made that particular plug, but I can't help but wonder why ALL breech plugs aren't made the same way.    ???

Times have sure changed. Gun control used to mean keeping the muzzle pointed in a safe direction

Breech plugs are like a blank canvas.They all require some refining and reshaping some more than others. ;)
