What the heck

It's an incense burner to pray for a good targert!

I have a CVA , Kentucky long rifle, from the 70s.
I want to remove the breech plug and scrub the surface rust off.
I know I'll have to remove the drum, and nipple.
Any tricks to get it off.
Thanks in advance
Mark

Trick would be to leave it alone. It can be removed, but if you don’t know what you are doing it’s very easy to create burrs and if things are not lined up perfectly during reassembly things go bad fast. Here is what the inside of your breech looks like and what CVA had to say about it.
