I have a Knight LK-93 50 cal that I bought around 1995. Came with a black stock, SS barrel and #11 nipple. I originally used Pyrodex powder with the #11 cap.
When Knight came out with a 209 conversion, I got it and started using Pyrodex pellets. I use Winchester W209 primers.
My only issue with this rifle is that there is a lot of primer blow back. It covers the bottom of the scope and the area under the back of the breech plug. I thought this was normal until I started reading posts on this forum. The gun is a good shooter and have shot several deer during our late muzzleloader season in VT.
I got a CVA Accura MR 3 years ago and is now now my primary muzzleloader. I got this gun so I would have two muzzleloaders in case one had an issue. I hunt over 2 hours from home at my camp and always take a second gun for whatever season I hunt. With an o-ring in the primer pocket, the Federal 209A primers are clean in the CVA. The break action is easy to clean and install/remove the primer.
Is there a solution to keep the LK-93 from getting so dirty shooting without going back to the #11 cap and loose powder? I really don’t plan on shooting this gun unless my CVA and/or scope has an issue. The primer pocket on the Knight is to big for the o-ring that I use on the CVA.
On a side note, I’ve seen the Woodman Patriots at our sportsman show at Hal Blood’s booth a few years ago and forgot about them until I saw a post here. Covid shut down the show the last few years. It’s back on this month and I’ll be looking at them. Might have to get one.
