    Scope base filler screws for an original Knight DISC

    I have decided to keep my Knight DISC rifle. I took the scope bases off, because Colorado doesn't allow scopes during ML season. I would like to get some filler screws that fit flush. I went to the Knight site and they have a barrel screw kit, but while they list the MK85, as a fit, they do...

    Knight original DISC...Using the orange discs

    I bought a Knight Original DISC and it was still set up to use the orange discs...so I bought a bunch and some were given to me. I don't mine the extra step of putting the primer into the disc...muzzle loading is all about the steps...here in Colorado we can't use powder pellets or sabots so I...

    Does Pyrodex "Go Bad"

    So 16 years or so ago, I had a gunsmith friend that wanted to take advantage of a distributer promotion. The distributer had a bunch of New/Old Stock Austin Halleck in-line Muzzleloaders. I got one with the synthetic stock, and he bought the upgrade with a beautiful maple stock. We played...

    Is the .54 going the way of the DoDo Bird?

    I see that Hornady has stopped making the Great Plains bullets for the .54 and the supplies seem to all be for the .45 and .50 cals. The only places I could find bullets was on the secondary markets, GB and such and from makers like No Excuses and such... So is the .54 on the way out?

    Scoping my Knight Original Disc

    As I get to like this rifle more and more, I am thinking I will use it more. Because I am in Colorado, a scope is not an option during the muzzleloader season. But if I use it during regular rifle season and to hunt coyotes I can scope it and that means more practice with this rifle. When I...

    Ignition...#11, Musket & 209???

    I have been dabbling in the Muzzleloader world for 25+ years...I started with a TC Renegade, then a CVA Apollo, a Winchester X150, an Austin Halleck, a Pedersolli/Cabelas in-line and now the Knight Disc Original. There have been a few repeats and others. But during this time of playing with...

    Traditions Sidelock .50 Barrel issue

    So about 13 years ago, my son in law bought a "Hunting Rifle" from a friend at work. The friend had quit and needed $$ to move. So my SIL came home with a Traditions sidelock .50 cal with a black synthetic stock. The bore showed some poor care and after heavy cleaning it showed a few pitted...

    Black Knight with rusty barrel UPDATE

    Ok so with out too much detail on the where or the why, I did find/get a ML drop in bore light, so I was able to brush and swab out the barrel and see how damaged it was...There were a couple of surprises... 1) The material was easier to scrub down than I thought rust would/should be. 2) The...

    BlackKnight .54 with a badly rusted barrel...can something be done?

    I posted some info about this rifle a couple of years ago...and got some great responses...but due to the rusted barrel it still sits in the corner of the closet and is not doing anyone any good. I bought a "Pig in a Poke"....it was listed as a 50 cal MK-85 in good condition but with a seized...

    Lubed Wads for In-Lines MLs?

    I have a Knight Original DISC and have worked up a few loads for it with some Power Belts and some TC Maxi-Ball and Maxi-Hunter all with decent accuracy. I have yet to take any game with this rifle, but I love shooting it. I have a solid (lifetime) supply of orange discs and as I was cleaning...

    Black Knight / BK 92 Questions

    Well the MK-85 arrived and it is not an MK-85...it is a Black Knight / BK 92. It is also in worse shape than represented. There is rust around the muzzle and around the action. Additionally as the seller did note the breech plug is stuck and there is no ramrod. The seller really messed the...

    What would you do with a .56 smooth bore

    So I am a fan of the Thompson Center Renegade. I have owned a couple .50 cal and .54. But I am still a rookie when it comes to all things Black Powder. I occasionally see Smoothbore Renegades in .56 call come up for auction or at stores. What would these be for? Multiple projectiles, like...

    GPS for hunting...what to get

    About 10 years ago for Christmas my wife bought me a Garmin E-Trex Legend GPS. She was concerned because 99% of my hunting is done alone and in the mountains between 9500 & 11,000 feet. I used the GPS every time I was out...cool info and I was able to mark hunting areas and spots where I found...
