blaser93Stuck Breech Plug
I have a stuck breech plug on my T/C encore. Anyone know a Smith that would fix this.
just want the plug out. I put antisize
on it before installing but no good.
Or is it worth buying another Barrel.

Mike in MichiganAssuming you have the proper, well fitting removal tool, put it in the freezer overnight. Next day, set up in padded vise (non flammable padding), tools and propane or other torch already on site. Secure barrel in vise, apply heat and removal tool. If this does not work, and you cannot find someone local, send it to me along with return shipping label or funds to cover return shipping. Mike Ryan - Gunsmith, 5375 Bullard Road, Fenton, MI 48430

bobhanson1Try soaking it in Kroil as I was able to remove one on one of mine after soaking it in Kroil over night.
