Welcome to the only Remington 700ML kit you'll ever truly want

The Remington 700 ML/MLS has been out of production for years now.    Those that are out there vary in condition.   Some have hardly been used.   Others used, but well cared for.   Some have been neglected.   The condition of these rifles truly runs the full gambit.   This is further complicated due to the original design and other 209 modifications sending fouling corrosive gasses throughout the bolt and the receiver.    Our kit fixes these blow back issues.


Many folks find their way to this blog from a simple internet search.   Frequently because they are having trouble like misfires, failure-to-fire, are tired of blow back, etc.      Some just know that there has to be a better way, and there is: you found it in our kit.   Other's have a friend that fixed his woes, or saw a modified rifle at the range using our awesome 209 conversion for Remington 700 ML's.  However you got here, and whatever shape your rifle is in, welcome to the best, last conversion you'll ever want on your rifle, and a great source for other hard to find Remington 700 ML parts.

So while our sealed breech, any muzzle loader powder compatible, 209 ignition system may be new to you,  its old hat in many other ways.    So please let me guide you through figuring it all out:  First and foremost, this website has a FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions).    If you go to the FAQ and scroll down to the question and answer area for our muzzle loader products, you'll probably find the answer you are looking for.

Also, I've been writing this blog for years.   Along the right side are all the posts, sorted by date, then Category (subject).     If you have a question, the answer is probably in those blog posts or the FAQ.

If you want to get it from the beginning, I think some of my very first blog posts will be a good read:   How to make a diamond in the rough shine

Badger Ridge Industries offers:
- The best 209 conversions for the Remington 700ML and the Ruger 77/50, seal the breech and are compatible with any muzzle loader safe powder

You've just received a new submission to your Contact Form.  Submitted Information:
Name Wes G:

I just had you install a conversion kit on my 700 ML. Haven't had a chance to shoot it yet. Can't wait. 

Question: Groups before your conversion between 1.5 and 2"@ 100 with 105 gr BH 209 and Barnes 290 gr T-EZs. While that level of accuracy is fine for deer @ 100 yds, I am heading to NM for elk this fall and would like to improve my 5" groups @ 200. Thanks.

Wes,

Try out the kit and see.  Usually sealing up the breech improves accuracy as it makes pressures more consistent.  What you are reporting is pretty good with any muzzleloader.

Tom,
 
Thought I’d send you an update. Shot the conversion yesterday. My previous unmodified load was 110 gr (by volume) BH 209, CCI-M, 290 T-EZ in supplied sabots, averaging 5.25” @ 200 yds & 1919 fps (10’ instrumentation).
 
Since you recommended standard CCIs, I switched to those. Two shots with previous loads were 6.625” apart averaging 1863 fps. Bumped charge to 115 Black Horn 209 (by volume) with standard CCIs and shot a 3 shot group of 3.125” @ 1923 fps [all groups at 200 yds].
 
Thinking the slower velocity with the 110 gr load was due to the primer switch. Upping the powder got my velocity back with the standard CCI primers. That velocity appears to be the most accurate node from this barrel (having tried 105, 110, 115, and 120 gr by volume). I’m out of both powder and bullets currently, but after I resupply, I will shoot some more to verify repeat-ability. I may also try 110 gr by volume with the CCI-Ms to see how it does.
 
At any rate, I am thrilled with that group and that my glasses, nose, and thumb are no longer coated with soot and oil from the bolt. Thanks for your help and a great product.

Wes


Wes,

That is great!   Thanks for the kind words!  

Remember that you can try the CCI-M's... they may stick in the nose and require a dry fire to remove... but usually that goes away at the higher charges you are using.

I always recommended standard CCI's as they have never stuck in the nose on me, but recently CCI changed from a copper colored primer to a Silver, and I don't have any experience with it yet. Regardless, you can use whatever primer you desire with our conversion, they just may require a dry fire to remove them.


Thanks for the update...

Tom

Tom,

Here’s a pic. Trying not to get too excited until I get more powder and bullets to make sure that group is repeatable.  The 3 shot group with 115 gr by volume was cleaned between shots.
