I have just purchased a CVA Accura 2. I am pleased with my purchase, but have a question for someone more familiar. The break in instructions tell you to apply CVA breach plug grease ( or high temperature anti seize compound) to the breach plug prior to use. Too bad none is provided and I didn't realize the need until I got home. Where can this material be obtained and are there any acceptable substitutes?

Hi temp anti-seize compund can be found at any parts store, hope this helps and congrats on ur new CVA. My first M/L was a CVA kentucky built in jr high shop class in 1980.

I used bearing greese until I could find some of their special breach plug grease. IMO the bearing grease works just as well. If I didin't have that, I was going to use regular grease out of my grease gun, but what ever you do, don't shoot it with that breach plug dry!

you dont need the grease, it has the quick release breech plug.

I think they just tell you to use it so you have some lube on there. No troubles at all with our V2 using it dry.

I use a senthetic grease and put it right on the seal of my Knight breach plug. A gasket or a copper shim would replace the grease if it made for a perfect seal.

you can use vaseline,or crisco as a reasonable substitute,as long as you clean up afterwards.
It is used to prevent blow by,which makes the plug hard to remove.

I use Shooter's Choice All Weather High Tech Grease. Works great.

Like the others mentioned, any grease will more than likely work. Without it, could be a pain to get the Breechplug out

V2 Accura = Quick Release Breech Plug. No lube needed.

Even if none is supposed to be needed, I think I'd use some. I wouldn't want to take a chance in something happening where I couldn't clean the gun right away and it seizing up.

As others have mentioned, any auto parts store will have some. I've used the spark plug anti-seize compound before and it worked well.

Don't use any grease shoot it 20 times or more and then let us know how hard it was or wasn't to get out.

Personally I would never run any of my inlines with out greasing the threads first. I use white lithum grease in a small tube I bought from NAPA.

+1 on the white lithium grease.

At hight temps grease or vasaline melts or becomes thin and runs, Anti-seize wont.

ive shot the V2, Optima and Wolf with QRBP as many as 60 times in a row with the breech plug NEVER seizing. There is just no blow by into the threads due to the design.
The Wolf's QRBP after 20 shots,


The V2 is a fine shooting piece of equipment.

Is yours stainless steel? If so the only reason you use it is in case anything gets caught up in the threads. Stainless needs the anti seize compound. I have used stainless steel hardware in my line of work and if not used the bolts will sometimes be very hard to remove and appear to fuse together. I have used it in my Encore and it works great. I would suggest you use it so you don't possibly ruin your new purchase.
