A breech plug scraper is sorta like a jag, only it has a squared "blade"- or a rounded one if you have a patent breech like in a T/C. Great for scraping the fouling from the breechplug face. Sorry don't have a link but they're easy to find, just see if you have a flat faced plug or a patent breech before you go ordering one! thmbsup
