Just picked one up in trade. If I keep it I am thinking about converting it to 209 primers. Any one know of a place to shop for the converion kit. If so please send me a PM. Thanks.

If you decide to do the 209 kit,don't do the the normal 209 kit that still uses the factory "slam fire" firing pin.Get ahold of Luke @ arrowhead sporting goods in Iowa -- http://www.smokelessmz.com/ Luke can convert your factory slam fire assembly over to a regular style firing pin that uses the 209 primers.This is the best kit available for the 700ML.You won't have to worry about all the blowback from the primer and powder all over your face and your scope if your using one.Hope this helps.............Rich

^ This!

I had Luke convert my gun over to 209 as well. I also had him put on a new barrel and install a new breech plug and converted to using smokeless powder. I would highly recommend it if its legal where you hunt.
