Knight FPJ Breechplug

[VAhunter23]

Idk if this is the right place to ask but has anybody ever seen a knight full plastic jacket breech plug do this? I recently acquired a knight TK2000 in “like new” condition. I checked everything out and it all seemed great. Shot it the next day and when I pulled it apart to clean it before putting it away I noticed the breechplug was cracked. I have a lot of knight ML with this same style breech plug and have never seen this before. Pictures posted below

That’s the first knight plug I’ve ever seen with a crack .

It looks to be made from a defective bar end. We use to see this issue at least once a year.

Contacted knight and they offered to send a new one and asked me to send this one to them for research purposes. Apparently they haven’t seen one split like that either

Great customer service from Knight.
I also have a good CS report from them. I had my recoil pad removed and a thinner hard on installed because I was only shooting light loads. Well I decided to use the rifle for long range and wanted to juice uo the charges so wanted to put the original pad back on but I misplaced it. I contacted Knight and Service Manager Steve B. is sending me s new one free of charge.

Steve B is also who I spoke with. I really wasn’t expecting the positivity from him but it will keep shooting knights!
