Interesting
I have a DISC Original converted to the Extreme style bolt and bare primer. Its a fantastic shooter and wonderfully clean to shoot also.
You see, the Original DISC was designed to use a 209 primer in a plastic carrier called a FPJ. Its sounds like you are not familiar or experienced with this system if you say they were not designed for 209 primers.
