Thank You, Dixie Gun Works sent me a reply and said to call them and they'd let me know how to get it right, when I call I'll let everyone know what they said. My fix seems to be ok and I don't see any issues with it.

Have you found that Mag spark 209 Primer Adapter add-on to be necessary?
I've had very reliable success with #11 caps.
My in-lines use 209, but I keep my sidelocks on #11 caps.
Thanks,
Jimmy

I've had a few Mis-Fires with it when I Hunted in the Rain and Heavy Wet Snow, no matter how hard I tried to keep the Cap dry it still happened and one time on a good Buck. I figured the 209 Mag Spark System would hold up to any snow and rain as caps won't, I have yet to try it so I'll let everyone know when I do. I just recently see where they make a "Cap Protector" it fit's over the No11 Cap to protect it from the elements.

Oh and I ordered a extra top part with the Firing Pin just in case I lost one in the snow or something, it was cheap enough. Plus I drilled out the inside of a Deer Antler and put a magnet in it to hold the firing pin top when reloading. Also some one on here mentioned to get a Magnet and put it on the receiver to hold it when reloading. They make small real strong Earth Magnets that would do the job just fine, think I'll get me a couple. Good Luck.

Breechplug keep those ideas coming.

I use a magnet stick type pencil when I reload shotshells. There are times the primer drops in the seating pocket upside down. The magnet stick removes it quickly for this old guy.
I'll fool around adding a magnet to one of my wingbone calls.
Boy to have a place to hold that cap or a to help remove a primer, priceless.
Thinking outside the Possibles bag (LOL), how about those paste on /self adhesive backed magnetic strips.
That could easily be added to any stock quickly. And be removed without marring the stock.
And since this firearm is for whacking turkeys, I'm adding my (I'm too fat to bend down telescopic magnet on a collapsible wand) to my Posdibles bag. That way if Ole fumble fingers are cold and stiff and ^Oh Fudge" moment happens, and it will. I can easily and quietly retrieve my part in the morning grass.

That you sir.

JW

Ps....thinking further. I have a magnet on a string I used to turn my old dog beeper collars on and off.
That will immediately go on my neck lanyard set calls I wear each outing.
