So I stumbled upon 3 slightly neglected Knight kp1 rifles with both 50cal BP and some centerfire barrels (3 .223, 20ga slug and. 270) I know parts are unobtainium, but other than 2 missing recoil pads, a pivot pin and the 270 barrel needing work due to rust, I am wondering on 2 things.
1. Would O1 tool steel work for a replacement pivot pin?
2. What kind of issues/quirks should I look for?
The good is all the bores save for the 270 are either unfired or near mint from what I have seen, the 270 has rust damage from the 1st owner stacking these in the basement like cord wood, and all are low serial numbers 1000 or less(0900 to under 1100), the bad is the pitting in and on the muzzle of the 270, minor pitting on the surface of the rest, and the camo pair were disassembled, and missing the aforementioned parts.
