Default Knight DISC and lehigh conversion

I have a older Knight Disc rifle. It uses the orange disc. Anyhow I was wondering if the lehigh conversion would work on this gun...

I just had the same rifle changed over with the help of Sabotloader. He showed me that there is a way to shoot just a 209 primer. And believe me, it works slick. I really like shooting the Knight again because I do not have to money around with them orange primer jackets.

Ive converted 3 newer style DISC based Knights and im VERY pleased with the results. They seem to work well even with milder primers and BH209 powder too.

As mentioned you will also need the red disk conversion bolt assembly too from my understanding.

Cleaning time, accuracy and ignition have all improved VS the FPJ. In my Elite 45 i would swear im even getting a little boost in velocity. I even devoted an entire day using mild WinT7 primers and BH209 with outstanding results.
