A positive change to Washington's Muzzleloader rules!

Welcome to the website with the only conversion kit you'll ever want on your Remington 700 ML or Ruger 77/50.    I've been writing and updating this blog for years.   If an internet search brought you here, you will find what you are looking for by reading through these articles or finding the topic you are interested in along the right hand side.

A while back I got on my soap box about trying to figure out all 50 states muzzleloader rules.... and the major head ache that it gave me.  You can read that blog post  by clicking here if you desire.

I was really frustrated to see some states mandating out of date methods and propellants that are just not as safe as modern methods and propellants.    The State of Washington had some of the worst in my opinion.  I was glad to see that the Washington 
Fish and Wildlife Commission  proposed a rule change to allow sealed breeches and modern primers.   I didn't see this until the comment period was closed.   And now I just read through the rules for 2018:  The change was adopted in 2018!  You can use our sealed breech 209 system in Washington now!  (UPDATED!)

(Excerpt from 2018's Washington rule book, Page 87 (allows sealed breeches and 209's, in red)
For those who hunt in Idaho and Oregon (The only two states where (I think) you still cannot use sealed breech 209s for all muzzleloader seasons)  we offer complete bolts for the Remington 700ML or Ruger 77/50.  A second, complete sealed 209 bolt helps folks who hunt in these states to swap between sealed breech system and the original unsealed system.   This is useful when one season or area allows sealed breeches, but another does not. 

​However, if you only hunt in places that allow sealed breeches (which is 48 out of 50 states now!), it's always cheaper to convert your bolt than to purchase an entire new bolt.   It's always best to have a sealed breech:  it stops blow back from getting into nooks and crannies and protects the shooter!
