Question for Encore ML Shooters

[Eagle_view]

A friend just brought me his Encore .50 Cal 209 barrel to convert to musket cap and to open the breech to meet Washington, Idaho and other states laws that ban the 209 primer system.  Are there others out there that have done this.  Is there a need for a kit to change these barrels.  A one off solution is not bad to do but if there is a bigger need, I might look at making a run of the kits.

Thank you in advance

Id buy a kit if one was available. Maybe there is a kit. I've never looked.

There may be someone selling a conversion kit, I have never seen one...  Converting the breech plug and open a port to see the cap can be done fairly easily.  On the other hand the hammer was never mean to drive a cap into the nipple post.  I really do not think it would be very reliable.  Shooting a primer takes a lot less hammer pressure.
