Can someone help identify this Knights 50 Cal muzzleloader I inherited from my pops?

[David Christian]

New member from TX. I don't do much hunting, but I do own a lot of guns. I'm more of a tactical rifle and handgun shooter, but I did inherit a couple cool hunting firearms when my pops passed last year. One of them is a Knights 50 Cal muzzleloader. Can anyone help me identify this rifle? I can't find a model name on it anywhere but it says Knight T-Bolt 50 Caliber and the serial number is 004101. It has a bolt that sort of tilts out a bit then pulls straight back. You cannot lift the bolt handle up.


Any idea what I have and what year it was manufactured. Also what's it worth? I'll probably put it in the safe and hang onto it for sentimental value no matter what.

Appears to be a Knight T-bolt.

Value appears to be $275-$300 based on a couple recent Gunbroker sales.

The model is, in fact, the "T-Bolt".

Came in several finish/stock combinations. I have a NIB stainless steel, Mossy Oak camo T-Bolt available here on the forums...
