Yes, that is it... When I was shooting the older bolt... pieces of the cap came flying out many times... It was my suggestion the FPJ bolt be altered to offer better protection to the shooter or any one standing near the gun.
After looking at the TC Pac Northwest Hunter and the Tradition Vortek - I started to inquire about the rules to the three states...
the rule states:
Equipped with an ignition system in which any portion of the cap is exposed or visible when the weapon is ****ed and ready to fire.
This conversion meets the intent of the rule... plus it is safer...
You know another thing - i really enjoyed shooting #11 - yes, it was breech dirty but it functioned perfectly and it was fun. I can hunt with this setup during our ML season...
