Knight FPJ conversion kit

SuperKirby said:

Thank you for clarifying. I know the actions on the Disc Extremes and Mountaineers are almost the same but not quite so I get confused on what will and won't work together. Sounds like I'm good to go. I believe the DE FPJ handle was shipping out today so I'll be good there. I'll get an FPJ conversion kit heading this way and if I get it in time and everything fits ok I'll use BH and 209's this season. If not I'll use #11's and 777 and after the season is over I'll have bestill fit the plug. Either way I should be good for this season.

Had same problem and had a gunsmith take about 10 thousand off the adapter

Modifying the adapter seems easier especially since I already have a bestill plug. However since our local smith closed up shop a couple months ago isn’t ten thousandths something one could take off with not much effort at home?

OK but remember the Breech Plug he sends will not work in the Mountaineer - the bolt & adapters can if mated with the Mountaineer BP... When you get the bolt insert the adapter in it - then put the assembly in the rifle and see if it will close all the way?

Sabotloader,

This kind of threw me.

Do you mean Truckleys plug will not work in the Mountaineer (I would agree), or Bestill's Plug (Got one in my Ulite)?

But they (the breech plugs) too should be considered a value.. notice how bright they are - they are made from 17-4 Stainless which is a much stronger grade than the conventional 416 stainless. They also can not be had any longer. + the fact that you can use a removable vent liner in them. You really should be able to resale them on the open market fairly easily...
