Breech Plug

I can't believe I done this but I have misplaced my breech plug for my .45 cal. Encore barrel. Does anyone know how much it would take to get another one from T/C?

They will send you one and I am not sure of the price. I contacted them about my Omege (which uses the same plug by the way) and I did not like the flat face plug and asked for one of the Encore style with a concave recess in the front. They sent it no charge. Problem is that to contact them you have to either call or write as they do not accept email anymore. I forgot the contact number. Should be on your paperwork or look for a contact number in one of the magazines.

on the topic of breach plugs.

Does anyone know if bullberry uses the same breach plugs as T/C does

I know the one from my knight lk93 will screw in but the #11 nipple would not let it close

You can not expect a company to replace something YOU lost for free.
T/C has been know for doing what they can to help but not always I have called for parts and they been sent out free and other times I have called and they charged. Normally the kicker is IF i lost the part and not damaged it. ( same thing with RCBS)

That was my experience also. I asked for an update to the latest breechplug that the Omega was being shipped with and since they had made a running change they shipped the breechplug free. The problem or solution to the problem was on their end so they paid for it. Sounds fair to me. You can usually do better price wise buying from a general supplier rather than from the manufacturers as they really are not in the retail business.
