The Connecticut Valley Arms AC1696 209 Primer Conversion Kit allows you to upgrade your CVA muzzleloaders from traditional musket cap ignition to modern 209 primer technology. If your rifle features quick-removable Northwest-style (musket cap) breech plugs, this conversion kit replaces that plug with a new breech plug assembly designed specifically to accept standard 209 shotgun primers—a readily available ignition source.
This simple conversion extends the versatility of your existing CVA muzzleloader platform without requiring extensive modifications. The 209 primer system provides consistent, reliable ignition for blackpowder hunting and target shooting. The breech plug measures 6.55 inches in length and is engineered to deliver the proven performance CVA is known for.
Compatible exclusively with CVA muzzleloaders equipped with quick-removable breech plugs, the AC1696 kit bridges the gap between classic musket cap design and modern ignition standards. Make the switch to 209 primers for improved reliability and ammunition availability.
