Default 52 cal Breech Area + the Lehigh Conv.

I know that this has been said before but I would like to re-affirm it. I shot 27 shots yesterday from my Knight with a Lehigh conversion.

I was shooting both T7 and BH with a Lehigh .458/220 grain bullet.

This morning - i decided to start cleaning the gun up. There is absolutley no reason to clean the breech area at all. It is just plain clean. If it were not for the nose of the breech plug - it would not even be worth the effort.

Same results on mine using an Elite bolt with the 52cal LRH barrel. Its the cleanest one i own and i thought the others were good. Even RemSTS primers look very good compared to most of the rest.

That reminds me, i need to make another Lehigh order.

Sabotloader,
My.. New to me.. Disc rifle takes the orange primer holder... will a Lehigh conversion work in my gun? What all will I need to upgrade from the orange disc?

You will need a bolt conversion, to change from the Orange FPJ's to either Red FPJ's or NFPJ.

Often gunbroker.com has these conversion on sale.

Once you have that you then can get the cleaner Lehigh breech plug conversion.

The bolt conversion comes in a package like this excluding the wrench...
