Hi,
I bought mine as a cap firing version from Shoei when they released about 150 of them. As standard, firing was OK but needed improving.
Converting a cap-firing model to a great firing model took well over 12 months of hard work and designing. Shoei supplied a Firing Chamber which needed modifying to accept a different detonator pin. The original cartridges were replaced with home made aluminium and brass versions, single cap, not two caps as Shoei's design. The bolt was remade, secured to the bolt carrier to reduce risk of breakage and then fine tuned to get it right.
An awful lot of work on an already firing model, but well worth it.
Converting a non-firing version would take considerably more thought and work. If you did start planning it, be sure you can source caps otherwise it'll be pointless!
