[QUOTE="westcliffe01, post: 818467, member: 35183"] I have a stainless Omega with the synthetic monte carlo style stock. I didn't say the breech plug was stuck, it just took considerably more torque to undo than to tighten. I used the spark plug style wrench that is supplied in the cleaning kit to tighten it and the cross pin that you have to twist is not more than 3" long, so one can't put much torque on it in the first place. The breech plug issue may be specific to the stainless models since that material is notorious for galling in any threaded application, but here the binding was at the rear flange, not the thread. I have been working on a different project where galling between stainless parts was also an issue and tungsten disulphide was one of the solutions that looked very promising, so that is what I have used in mine ever since, but of course I am also very careful how I tighten it too.
