Old School D.I.S.C. Quick Release Bolt Conversion (PICS)

[Smyrnagc]

I also did it when this thread came out in 2009 and it is not that hard. I was able to use a drill press and went slow, checking and double checking everything as I went.

All good info on the upgrade, when did Knight start using the plunger style bolt release?

Knight advertised “ The new quick release bolt system “ in their 2004 catalog.

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 shoot me a message. I will be happy to pass it along to the next guy!

Try a Win209 and Fed209A first and see if you get at least a .003 crush on an unfired primer. You might not need to shim it. None of mine have needed shims.

 

[Tigdim]

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 when reloading shotshells.

 

[GM54-120]

Rem STS are about the shortest. If the bolt body drops into full battery without being pressed down you will need to shim or get a Bestill plug. Im assuming you saw IdahoLewis video on how to check it easily?

 

[Tigdim]

I didn't see the video just used what I read here.

Sorry to comment on an old thread but I figured this would be my best shot.

In a fit of anger after my Knight Original DISC kept popping primers without ignition, I accidentally stripped the Allen head set screw that retains the bolt in place. I’ve checked everywhere online and can not find a replacement in stock. I’ve contacted Knight directly and they have not responded to my email. Does anyone that did the conversion to the detent have their old Allen head screw laying around that they would be willing to part with?

I believe I have one if I can find it. I’ll check when I get home from work.

That would be awesome. Thank you

Let me know if you do not get the information or help you need - I have both the parts and the information.

For a replacement stock might check ebay, and other rifle auction sights. The stocks are out there.

what kind of stock are you looking for? You have a pic?

 

[Smyrnagc]

I read his post as the screw not being “in stock.”
