Using Teflon tape on breach plug

[dbltaps]

Good morning everyone! I just have one question - does it matter what color Teflon tape I use on my breach plug threads? I have used white before, but I have some grey tape that I'm considering using, and I have also heard about pink?

Pink and grey tape are thicker than white tape. You won't need as many wraps when using either of those colors.

I use anti-sieze grease.

When I install breech plugs on new and used (very rare occasions) rifles I've used Permatex copper anti-seize lube... if only because it's all that I had available as a builder of racing motorcycle engines.

Anti seize compound would be the best choice mentioned so far. It serves as a sealant plus it makes the plug easier to remove in the future. I use it on all my spark plug threads.

The thicker pink tape is generally used for fluid sealing, but is suitable for gas applications as well. Copper flake anti-seize is fantastic in your application, as many others have testified.

Copper grease or graphite grease high temperature and high pressure are also working well, almost like Teflon or may be better...

Never heard of teflon being used but I have always used antisieze on breach plugs.

Grease for me as well.
