rusted/stuck firing pin and breech plug


Recommended Posts

Posted

I got a problem with a firing pin that's stuck and a breech plug too. What would be the best penetrating oil? Store bought or homemade. I may heat the breech plug up with a propane torch and try and get it out that way. I know there's some knowledgeable members on here, so anybody got any advice. Thanks.

I have had good luck with a 50/40 mix of 30 weight synthetic and automatic transmission fluid. Add 10% fuel injector cleaner to the mix to help it seep. It seems to soak in pretty well but probably not as good a kroil. My mixture works really well if the parts are being heated.

I may have to get some. I've heard the stuff is "toadly awesome". Where would I get some without having to order it?

Call your local gunshops, several around here carry it. You could also try machinist supply places.

Most auto parts houses should have it.

I have always been able to find it at NAPA.
