Help Needed- Knight Ultra-Lite 209 PrimernIssue

[FishN]

I recently converted my Knight Ultra-Lite from musket caps to a bare 209 primer system using the official Knight conversion kit. Everything seemed fine at first, but now I’m running into an issue: after firing, the 209 primer gets stuck in the pocket of the bolt—as seen in the attached photo. I have to use needle nose pliers to remove it each time.

Dry firing multiple times doesn’t help loosen it, and it’s becoming a consistent issue.

My question is:

Do I need to shim the breech plug’s primer pocket?

If so, where can I buy the correct shims for this setup?

Have you tried a different brand of 209 primers?

Yes, two different brands and same problem

Shim the current BP may help. I ended up buying an after market BP from LeHigh Defense. Worked better but still had an occasional one get stuck. I have since ditched using both 209 and Black Horn Powder. Went back to #11 caps and T7 powder. Oh and I ditched my Knight UL and bought a White .451. I’m much happier.
