Safe meaning no blow back into the bolt or face.

That setup, which I call the 'derfhunter' bolt nose and 209 kit is a really good way to convert your 700ML to a real 209 ignition system. Back when I have the 700's I built a couple of conversions but this one is far better and well proven!

I did buy it from derfhunter. He just didn't have any of his pix show anymore
I think when you get it you will really like it!

He did text pix to me, and I like it already!
Derfhunter is a great guy when you get it - if you have any questions just call he can walk you through it with a blind fold on!!!

This kit prevents the serious blowback issue with the open breach

Serious question; why would you want to convert it to a 209 system?
Exactly, Why? I have never had a miss fire on my two 700's. Also it depends on the powder you use for cleaning between shots. I clean mine every 5 shots with no problem and I have never had a blow-back issue with any of them. Ever!

I have had a hangfire while out hunting (don't remember if it was a #11 or musket cap). The hangfire DID hit the elk. The followup shot did flip the elk and it hit the ground. I have my Knight plunger gun to shoot traditional caps. I wanted to try the bighorn 209 powder, and the 209 option with the "standard Remington" 209 nipple does produce debris/blowback. It's my rifle, and my choice to change it. Still haven't done it yet, too many projects.

Not getting the T7 "crud ring".
Like I said, I have a bighorn that I regularly shoot, but being a plunger gun, am unable to use higher charges.

Not having to swab between shots is a big plus.

I get the cleaning thing. I’m just wondering if there’s something different about the way bh209 burns or whatever that makes you want to do this. I’m considering trying it in my Encore. That’s mostly why I’m asking.

Just got some BH209, will see how it holds up to the hype.
Thoughts on the conversion:
The flange of the primer slides into the end of the bolt. Closing the bolt "swages" the primer into the breech plug.
Opening the bolt extracts the primer, and it just rolls out if you tip it, or it easily lifts out with fingers.

100yards, 2 shots. 1 in X ring, 1 in 10 ring. Smoke just as bad as T7, but no residue in barrel.
Recoil feels heavier than T7.
I LIKE it!

What was interesting was the BH209 had no issues with the chronograph, but the T7 blew off the sky shields both shots.
For the difference in cost I don't see that I need to continue with BH209. I will get the lower power Muzzy 209 caps to avoid the crud ring with T7.
