Rem.700ML breechplug flame channel

[olegburn]

Friend of mine has one and uses it mostly for hunting,no high volume shooting.
How long these plugs last as far as flame channel is concerned?
I imagine there is no ventliner like in Savage,but pressures are incomparible. Correct me if I'm wrong.
What do you guys do in terms of maintenance?
Any suggestions be appreciated.

I have two of them fine guns... One is the short 24" version and the other is a Mag 26" version.

I can tell you how many shots have been through those two guns but i have yet to replace a nipple. There is one thing i should mention though - i am using the Cabelas/Canadian 209 conversion in both guns - it is so much better than the Remington attempt. If you guys are the Remington conversion i would relly suggest getting the canadian version.

Also remember the remington breech plug is a two piece assembly - Nipple and breech plug.

If your friend is using a #11 or Musket cap it is just a regular 1/4"x28 thread nipple and they do wear out - but are easily replaced.

Hope this helps some - got any other question just fire away...
