VIII. IGNITION & BREECH PLUGS
Your muzzleloader is equipped to use a
s t a n d a rd 209 shotgun primer for the ignition.
The 209 primer area is built directly into the
b reech plug. Make sure that you remove the
209 breech plug and clean the threads of both
the breech plug and inside of the barrel before
ever firing your muzzleloader. You must lubricate the thread of
the breech plug with Traditions breech plug grease before you
install it back into the barrel. This will help prevent the bre e c h
plug from getting stuck inside the barrel after shooting.
N o t e : B r eech plugs will wear out over time and should be
replaced periodically. We recommend that you purchase at
least one extra breech plug for emergencies in the field or at
the range. We recommend that you replace your breech plugs
after every year and nipples after every hunting season.
Removal of the Breech Plug:
1. Make sure the muzzleloader is unloaded and unprimed.
Lower the drop breech action, cock the hammer to allow
sufficient room for the wrench to attach to the breech plug
and position the large open end of the breech plug wrench
over the breech plug, taking care to fully
seat the wrench over the breech plug.
Make sure you fully seat the wrench over
the breech plug.

2. Insert the rod handle into the hole in the wrench to
form a T.
3. Turn the wrench counter-clockwise, unscrew the breech
plug and remove from barrel. It may require some extra
force to free up the breech plug after shooting.
TIPS FOR STUCK BREECH PLUGS:
IMPORTANT:
Always make sure to lubricate the breech plug threads
liberally with Traditions breech plug grease
before using your muzzleloader.
a. With the breech plug wrench fitted over the breech plug,
actually try to tighten the plug and then rock it back and fort h
to loosen up the fouling.
b. Remove the barrel from the re c e i v e r. Pour some hot water into
the barrel and let it soak for about 1/2 hour. Secure the barrel in
a padded vise. Position the wrench onto the breech plug and
remove. Be careful not to scald yourself with the hot water.
c. If you still cannot remove plug, contact Traditions Customer
S e r vice Depart m e n t .
Installation of the Breech Plug:
1. Spray the breech plug inside and out with Traditions EZ Clean
™
solvent or use the EZ Clean
™
bath system to loosen the
residue and fouling on the plug. Use a stiff brush to clean the
outside threads and inner area of the breech plug. A pipe
cleaner can be used to get the smaller areas clean and dry.
2. Wipe with a clean cotton cloth. Repeat until all residue is off .
3. Liberally apply Tr a d i t i o n ’s Breech Plug grease onto the thre a d s
