G2 Breech Plugs and Primers 10-7-24
We offer several options for breech plugs for use in G2 Patriot muzzleloaders. The standard plug included with the rifle is for use with black powder and substitutes. It can handle light bullets with light smokeless loads, however a tool may be required to remove fired primers. The standard plug has a short flame channel. We now also offer a G2 209 long channel plug as an economical alternative to the adjustable. This long channel plug is to allow easy finger removal at the expense of ignition performance.
In G2 and older models, 209 ignition was the only option. The G2 model was when we introduced the adjustable breech plug. This plug will solve most 209 primer issues but it does require maintenance to keep carbon build up from clogging it. Depending on the load, there are low, medium and high pressure configurations. The high pressure will accommodate all loads and regulate the pressure that the primer is exposed to. The adjustable plug allows head spacing of any 209 primer to get a tight fit in the primer length. This helps to reduce or eliminate blowback.
