Check out the breech plug, it's a totally different design, easy to take out, only about a quarter turn. It's not threaded all the way around. I don't even bother to grease the threads or put teflon tape on 'em. It really is a good design.

It's not only an advantage for cleaning, but if you ever have a misfire, or just want to unload without shooting, it's nice to be able to just pop it out.
