That's why ah alwees wears rubber gloves! ::
When there's a "chamber" at the breech end that's smaller-than-bore diameter, isn't that called a "patent" breech or some such? I remember reading a thread on this subject before, but I don't remember exactly what it said. We smoothbore shooters have got it shamefully easy (or we ARE shamefully easy, I don't know which :: :shocking, I tells ya!

The Lyman GPR also has this reduced area below the bore. The ramrod stops about 1" before it is even with the nipple. However, a 1/4 dowel will go down another inch before it stops even with the nipple.

Has anyone removed the breech plug from a GPR?

Plinker-
I have not removed the breech on my GPR (or any other, for that matter). The instructions that came with my GPR said that it has a "coned breech" which the regular cleaning jag won't fit into. It recommends a .30 brush be used to clean this area. Actually, I have a .25 bronze brush that I leave on a aluminum rod just for this purpose. Putting a small patch on it and it seems to work well.
