Yes, definitely no need for them in barrels having a Patent Breech design breechplug...never used a breech-face scraper...or a vent pick for that matter. By choice, all my barrels have today's Patent Breech design breechplugsRat Trapper said:I have all TC rifles. Have couple of the TC scrappers, but don't use them very often. A while ago Roundball posted that over all the years he had been using TC rifles, he found if you are cleaning with warm water it wasn't needed. I have found he is right.

Let me first say I do respect you Stump so not trying to demean you in any way.
I must admit I had to look up the word parabolic before I posted to this to make sure I was stating this correctly.
I own a Traditions 50 cal. and had to pull the drum and the breech plug. As most know it is like the picture I see circulated often of the CVA patented breech. Anyway to make a long story short the face of the breech plug is a parabolic curve. When I pulled mine I was kind of surprised to see a sort of baked on layer of crud.
