Does your set-up now allow you to shoot the Orange plastic jackets? Or is the gun only set for cap ignition?

Corey,
I emailed Lehigh about the same question and Dave gave me a great response. Long story short NO. Its not worth the money. You might end up paying more for the upgade then you did the gun. Use the orange disc with 777 or pyrodex and enjoy shooting. IMO its nice to handle those discs...easy in easy out. Mines a little dirty but no where near my BLK Diamond.

since you are shooting or able to shoot the Orange I would stay with that for awhile.

To switch to the Red or the Lehigh you would also have to replace the bolt with the newer DISC Extreme bolt. They can be found for $80 and up - then add the cost of the lehigh - gets expensive...

just my thoughts..
