Does anybody who owns this rifle been able to remove the Breech Plug? My smitty says they aren't designed for easy removal.

I haven't tried to remove the plug from my Lyman Great Plains rifle. What do you want to remove yours for?

Leave it alone! Why do you want it out?

the breach plug on lyman should be removed ONLY BY A GOOD GUN SMITH AND FOR GOOD REASON VERY GOOD REASONbecause it can be very hardto reinstal perfict

I have changed mine out several times..I replaced it with a different one made of SS and had more gap...My gun is an older Lyman Great Plains Rifle so maybe its different, I just used the tool that is made for that purpose..
