This is the only 209 conversion kit you'll ever want on your Remington 700 ML/MLS that was manufactured from 1995-2005 (NOT FOR THE ULTIMATE MUZZLE LOADER). The installed kit makes your 700 ML work like the Savage 10 ML-II. The bolt nose holds a 209 primer and feeds it into a replacement breach plug. The breech plug has a 209 "flash chamber" with Lehigh "Savage type Vent Liner." The nose and the breech plug are heat treated 416 stainless steel. The kit also comes with a proper firing pin. Say good bye to blow back, and special priming/de-priming tools. Sealing the breech and switching to 209 primers will also broaden the powders you can use with your 700ML or MLS such as Blackhorn 209. Make your 700ML/MLS the rifle you always knew it could be! Without priming tools or other hassles!
You must be sure to select a kit that corresponds to your rifle's caliber. Breech plugs are caliber specific. If you want a 45/54 cal kit select the appropriate kit. Please tell us your caliber in the note to seller part of your check out so that we are sure to get you the correct kit.
Our kit is for Black Powder/Black Powder substitute rifles with the original Remington barrels. Never use smokeless powders in black powder rifles!!!

You really should see the posts in The Badger's Den for why we think this is the best thing since sliced bread. Though we recommend professional installation (we offer it; just add it to your cart before you check out), there is a complete guide to installation in the reference section. If you DIY, we recommend replacing the main spring, (a new mainspring is included with the complete kit). Also if you plan on DIY, we recommend you pull your bolt apart and clean everything before you buy your kit: it helps you be certain of the condition of the parts, and order everything you need. For instance, in rare cases your rifle may have an un-threaded cocking piece. If you have an un-threaded cocking piece please let us know in the note to seller portion of the check out system (as you complete the online purchase of your kit there is a window where you can write us a note: if you need special stuff tell us there!).
Purchase installation for any kit by adding the "Installation Service" to your cart before you check out, then mail us your bolt. Click here for the details. The address to mail your bolt to will be emailed to you on your electronic receipt. (If you purchase installation, you don't need to take the bolt apart; we'll handle it if it has an unthreaded cocking piece).
You may need to 'tune' your breech plug to your choice of primers (click here to see a tutorial on the process). This is done by gently reaming the very end of the breech plug's flash chamber with a letter C drill bit. We ship letter C bits with our complete kits.

We have lots of 700 ML parts and accessories. Don't forget to add on some important things to your cart to save on shipping like:
- An extra Mainspring
- MMP Sabots
- Letter C drill bits
- Vent-liners

We occasionally sell entire 209 converted bolts with breech plugs. They are a more expensive option, so we recommend to convert an existing bolt. The only time it makes sense to purchase an entire scratch built bolt is if you live/hunt in a state that requires open ignition/percussion caps for part of the season, or if you don't have a complete OEM bolt to use as a parts donor.
If you want to tinker and not get a complete kit, we also offer purchasing half kits and individual pieces. You can purchase individual pieces or half kits: such as the nose kit (firing pin and bolt nose) without the breech plug/vent liner, or the breech plug/vent liner without the nose kit. The nose will not work with the OEM breech plug and vice versa. So we don't recommend buying these separately unless you are a professional tinkerer or gunsmith who wants to design their own breech plugs, noses, etc.
We strive to always have these in-stock, but if they go out of stock you will still be able to select one for your cart. Your invoice will have our phone and email address to stay in touch with us. We typically are never out of stock more than a week (but the response to COVID has really stressed our supply chains). If some how you order something we are out of stock on and the system didn't already say "BACK ORDER", we'll contact you via email with an explanation & estimate of the back-order time.
By making a purchase here you agree and consent to our terms of use. If you live in Canada, we will ship our muzzle loader items there (no free shipping to Canada: shipping fees to Canada are calculated during check out. Expect a minimum of $12.50 USD)
