    Leak around vent liner

    I'm not sure of the exact thickness here. It's a tapered A-weight. As for the breech plug, that's one of the reasons I'm a little hesitant. It seems like the amount to be removed is a bit of a judgment call. I definitely don't have enough experience to trust my judgment! I suppose moderation is...

    Leak around vent liner

    Nope, room temp or slightly warmer. I've cleaned my muzzleloaders like that for years with no issue.

    Leak around vent liner

    Hi all, I was cleaning my flintlock after a range day. I used compressed air to dry the water out of the bore and noticed it forced some moisture out around the vent liner. What would you all recommend here? Am I able to seal the threads or do I need to replace the liner? If a replacement is...
