I guess after shooting/cleaning muzzle loaders for 35yrs maybe I got a bit lax in maintaining my breech loaders. For 10 years or so I never oiled the breech face after shooting clays for a day, and never had a problem. And if I would have, I'd never have seen it now. From hence forth I will clean and store them properly. That said, it's still a strange phenomenon.
