Abstract
A muzzle loading breech plug system designed for high performance muzzle loading rifles, including, but not limited to, bolt actions and break actions. The system is comprised of the following: 1) A breech plug body threaded to fit corresponding threads on the muzzle loading firearm. 2) A bushing designed to prevent powder from passing completely through the barrel, but still allowing flame from primer to ignite powder while being resistant to gas wear. 3) A retention module/adapter insert that holds bushing in place while mating with primer holder module. 4) Primer holder module designed to hold a large rifle magnum primer and mate up with the other components of the system providing reliable sealing and consistent ignition.
Claims20
A system for operatively coupling a firing pin in a gun to powder in a barrel of a muzzleloader rifle, the system comprising:
- a breech plug body, having a body muzzle end and opposing body breech end configured to be retained inside a barrel of a muzzleloader rifle;
- a bushing, configured to simultaneously restrict powder from exiting through a non-muzzle opening of said barrel while permitting ignition of said powder inside the barrel from an ignition source, said bushing being disposed inside said breech plug body;
- a retention member, at least partially disposed inside said breech plug body, and configured to retain said bushing at a location inside said breech plug body;
- a primer holder, having a primer holder muzzle end which is configured to be received inside said breech plug body and inside said retention member.
A system for igniting powder in a barrel of a muzzleloader rifle, the system comprising:
- a breech member, having a first end and opposing second end configured to be retained inside a barrel of a muzzleloader rifle;
- a first member, configured to restrict powder from exiting through a non- muzzle opening of said barrel while permitting ignition of said powder inside the barrel from an ignition source, said first member being disposed inside said breech member;
- a second member, at least partially disposed inside said breech member, and configured to retain said first member at a location inside said breech member;
- and
- a primer holder, and a primer holder muzzle end which is configured to be received inside said breech member and inside said second member.
