I would order a spare breech plug, and ask that the breech plug is left out.
I would then wire brush both breech plugs extensively, as well as the barrel breech plug threads. In seating a plug I would screw all the way in, and then back it off slightly. Any good plug grease works well.
Each new barrel I got back....the biggest pain in the tail was skinning my knuckles and swearing over pullin' the plug.

ogo,

This might be what your looking for. I came up with the socket idea and Perklo has another way of permanently doing it in this thread as well. My pictures leave a lot to be desired, but I think they will get the idea. This tool works like a dream as compared to the "knuckle buster" as supplied. It sure would not take H&R/NEF much to make this tool better. Here it is with pics.
