HELP! Stuck breech plug

[farmer14]

Sooooo apparently my breech plug either rusted shut or is torqued down so tight I cant get it Loose. Any recommendations Or something I could spray so that I can unscrew it?

Heat. Where you shooting triple 7, it often freezes them if not cleaned very regular. Throw it in a vise and use a heat gun for like stripping paint. Go slow and careful, they usually break loose pretty easy and quick

I dont know what type of breech you had but this happened once to mine on my CVA Wolf. I wrapped it in a towel and grabbed it with channel locks. Just needed something with a little more leverage.

What rifle is it? but as stated heat solves the problem.

You could also try PB Blaster or Kroil both available from the auto supply. Spray it down and allow it to soak. May even take a day or so.

tapping on front of plug with a brass rod while someone else tries to remove it can also help break them free.
