Cleaning of the breechplug face???

[Russ T Frizzen]

The scrapers are only of use with a plain, old fashioned flintlock breech anyway. I just use mine every once in a while in case hard crud has built up. The truth is I doubt I'd miss it if I lost it.

I must be doing something wrong. Never owned or used a breech plug scraper. My lights show my breeches to be clean and bright. I do have a bristle brush that goes into the breech area and a couple turns of that do the trick. The rest is just water and patches.

When I'm sitting around a camp fire, I also heat up a .30 caliber brass jag to red hot and I drop it down the breech to help dry that breech recess. It does the trick.
