ok i picked up a mint 91 white in 50 cal 100bucks unfired!!!! where can i find a 209 conversion kit?? doc white does not have them any more
thing is nice!stainless with synthetic stock and came with mounts and rings got it for a buddy who loves to hunt and is kinda short on funds(big family) i gave him a decent scope 1.5x4.5 bushnell banner and 250 no excuses 490 grain bullets and a coupla pounds of 2f 777 i had to use in it, i just wanna upgrade it for him with a 209 kit if i can find one to buy for him it rains in indiana!
littlle back ground about my buddy i almost died 10 years ago (in hospital 90+ days and in bad shapeafter @home) that year him and my other hunting buddies carried me by hand out in the woods put me in a sleeping bag in a chair in a ground blind with my gun and drove deer to ME did it make a difference in recovery? dunno but i think i healed better faster after that and i was soon back to work i have loaned him several guns of mine and he will not keep them so i got this as a gift and its new and unfired so he cannot say oh its yours i cant take it thats the story so if ANY one has any idea where to get a kit i can buy let me know! if not he can hunt with it and shoot it with #11 magnum caps. thanks for your time

GREAT DEAL on one of the best rifles ever built!
I have 3 Whites, and a 209 conversion. To tell you the truth, the #11 system is WAY better than the 209 in a White. The ONLY reason I bought a 209 conversion was to shoot BH209 powder. If you are shooting Black Powder, Pyrodex, 777, APP, BM'XP, or any of the other powder subs, stick with the #11 cap. The #11 cap is virtually waterproof once seated tight on the nipple, the 209 primer conversion would leak like a sieve.
AGAIN, the #11 capped White is virtually waterproof with the one piece nipple/breech plug. Just use a good grease or teflon tape on the threads, and you won't find any 209 conversion that will do a better job.
Put those 495 gr No excuses on top of a 70 to 80 gr charge of 777, and you won't find a better shooting muzzleloader, unless it is another WHITE!
I would also use a fiber gasket wad between the powder and bullet to help seal out the elements, it will also improve accuracy. If you are really worried about rain, put a finger-cot or a balloon over the muzzle.
Your buddy will LOVE that rifle, they just don't make 'em like that anymore.
