breech plug grease
« on: June 16, 2010, 03:41:12 PM »
OK guys, I'm new to this inline stuff. Been shooting sidelocks for years, but recently decided to try playing with a Remington 700ML. My question is, what is the best thing to use on the breech plug threads to keep them from seizing up? Thanks!

I use a small amount of silver anti seize. Not sure if it is right or wrong but it works never had any problems.

 I've used a little of everything, Gorilla grease, teflon tape, & some of the BP/choke tube greases. I think the main thing is to use SOMETHING, don't over-tighten the plug, & REMOVE it regularly for cleaning/ re-lube.

This is what I use in my Savage in line. Perfect results. Designed for hot engine parts like spark plugs.

+3 on the tape, you'll never have a problem removing a plug after the tape has been used properly, keep the fouling out of the threads and the plug is as easy to remove as it was to install.  ;)

same grease I use on my shot gun chokes. You should remove them after a days shooting and clean and put on a new coat of choke grease. Don't over tighten

Buy a tube of silver anti seize for 3 bucks, it will last a life time.

Use it on your spark plugs too.

+ 4 On the teflon tape. Goes where you want it and stays where you put it.
