Birddog, I replied to you message. Well it turns out I was way off. The .012" I was measuring was the forward bolt movement before I hit the quick release pin. ( I just installed ) After using washers between the bolt face and some spent primers (no adapter installed) I figured out I need...

The smallest W209 primer I measured was 0.296" and the largest was 0.301". All from the same box of 100. I have another box of 100 as well. I will probably measure and sort all of them in the next day or so. Just to see what I have the most of.

I have a Knight Original DISC, that I just converted to bare primers with a Lehigh BP, Lehigh Adaptor and a new bolt body. I was getting ready to order the 0.248" OD shims (0.005" thick) to shim the primer pocket on my knight. The bolt handle falls without contacting the action and crushing...

I didn't see the video just used what I read here. https://www.modernmuzzleloader.com/threads/shimming-the-209-primer-pocket-updated-4-7-16.28388/

I tried the Win209's last night, bolt falls no crush. (firing pin assembly removed) I don't have any shims on hand to see how much I need but I can order some. I could not get ahold of any Fed209a. I did buy some Rem STS's as backup, but the plan is to use the WIN209's as that is what I use...

Big Thanks to Birdog for sending me the tap. I got the quick release installed last night (along with the bare primer conversion). I used a cordless drill, #2 drill bit and a tap wrench to tap by hand. Now I just need to shim the primer pocket and get shooting. If anyone else needs this tap...

Amazon for taps... Go figure. I can order taps/drill bits at work and usually it saves money as they get shipped with work stuff and I don't have to pay shipping. In this case amazon is $3 cheaper. I had never really thought about amazon for drill bits/taps ect. Thanks for the link. For...

Sorry for digging up an old thread, but I would rather dig this up than create a new one. I am probably over complicating this but, for anyone who has done this... did you use a standard Taper Chamfer or a plug chamfer tap? Just thinking that to get to full thread on a taper chamfer you have to...

Thankfully the bore is perfectly clean... the brown stuff is on the outside of the action and hex of the breach plug.... I have not been able to get the gun back out and try again, but I am guessing it is just a dried grease of some kind. He had some strange "old school" products that he would...

I think your responses helped me figure the details that were still confusing me. If you want to shoot bare 209 primers and have a Disc rifle. If you have the bolt for the red plastic jacket... you buy the adapter and the lehigh breech plug. ($31) If you have an original disc bolt you can get...

I appreciate the warm welcome.

Extreme Adapter... I missed that part. Thanks... I will look into it. Aaron

I was recently given a Knight "original" DISC rifle by a long time friend/mentor. You can read about that in my intro thread over in the Welcome forum. ("New Wisconsin Member" is the title.) The long and the short of it is that I want to get this thing shooting as a reminder of him and the...

Hello All, I am from south central Wisconsin, and just got an old Knight Muzzleloader from gentleman I worked for as a teenager. He became a friend/mentor of sorts, and he introduced me to dog training and duck hunting. Looking back it seams as though we spent as much time in the field...
