sabotloader said:Kraig, when you install the new plug and if you read that post on shimming, there is a method to tell if you are getting the correct head space. If you remove the hammer assembly from the bolt and insert the bolt in the rifle and the primer in the nose you will be able to feel if you are getting compression of the primer.
It is unfortunate that your rifle did not come the way you would have liked it. With the Knight bolt there are several things that can effect the headspace including the length of primer you choose to use. I really hope you get it all worked out.
O and as Ron indicated the 'flash channel' is larger than you might think. You do need a 5/32" bit for that project.
I’ll have to get the 5/32” bit for my range box. Glad U guys brought that to my attention. Even still, this problem was from the get go anyway, but still good to know.
Sabot loader - with this new Breech plug I received, can I test it out with just firing a primer in it to see if my primers are sticking or do I have to actually fire a load?
Yeah it does suck my Knight didn’t come the way I was “expecting” it to, but things happen and I’m not crying over it. It’s just frustrating knowing that I spent $1000 on something that I apparently have to do modifications to, where if I maybe would have gotten something different it doesn’t seem like I would have to deal with all these things and I could just go to the range and enjoy shooting it without taking it apart after every shot.
