Knight breech plug ?

[fire*guy]

I have this one breech plug that I have acquired along the way, I know its from knight and I believe its 209 for a long range hunter or a disc ? Which bolt would it work with ? Which adapter would the bolt use ? I had a bolt with my long rang hunter that had a metal adapter that would lock into the bolt to hold I believe a 209 primer. Any help would be greatly appreciated.... if its something I can identify and someone has a need I will put it up for sale.

From here it is a 209 Breech plug for percussion type Knight - MK LK Wolverine Big Horn and others.

Are you thinking a Mk85 with the point on the end of the plunger ?

 

[fire*guy]

I would really have to force a 209 primer in the hold ,I cant do it by hand .... how would this happen how would it come out after being fired ?
Sorry for all the questions...

What brand of primer are you using? I've read about some breech plugs only accept Winchester primers or even pistol type primers.

To me it looks like the one that use to come with the Bighorn and I think the Winchester 209 is the one that worked with it. The Bighorn plunger had the point.

So, the only pointed plunger I have is a MK-85.
The primer I tried was a CCI

So if this breech plug goes to this gun , after its shot how well does the 209 primer come out of the hole ?

There is a small metal capper/decapper tool that is used to install and remover the primer. I’ll see if I can find a picture.

Thanks guys, I didn't realize that there where so many different types of systems fron Knight.

If you have it, I'd stick to #11 ignition in the knight plunger guns. They work amazingly well. I don't see any advantage of 209's in that style rifle personally.

I have multi knight rifles, only one convertered to 209 primer. My others are #11 percussion cap.
I would think that its almost impossible to find Winchester 209 primes now days anyways ?
