Help- Knight Ultra Lite 209 Conversion Kit

[FishN]

Converting my Knight Ultra-Lite to a bare 209 primer system from musket caps using the Knight kit, but 209 primers (777 primers) aren’t firing. The firing pin is hitting the primer and dimpling it. Does this conversion also require a new firing pin assembly?

you have the firing pin assembly screwed all the way into the bolt body and the secondary safety screwed all the way out? I'm using a western firing pin assembly in a bare primer bolt in my disc extreme and it works fine.

Yes, I’ve checked & double checked those. Any other ideas?

Might be a breech plug out of spec. Did you buy the conversion bolt from Knight or sportsmans warehouse? Might try a different primer.

Have you called Knight ands asked for assistance? Probably a goos start. I have the same gun and it can be finicky if you do not assemble the bolt properly.
