That charging handle is a screw with nuts on it. Knight stop making parts for it?

They stopped production of parts long before the new Knight owners took over. The rifle was discontinued at the end of 1997. Don't recall when the last parts were available. I got the last stock they had but can't remember the year I got it. A year or so ago I had some bolt handles and plugs (posi-fire LRMP) made up for them. As long as the current plug is not pitted or anything it will just about last the life of the rifle using the LRMP though, it don't eat the flashholes like 209's do. Triggers are same as the MK-85.

The really neat feature about this rifle was that it came with 2 different ignitions, Posi-fire (bolt action) and #11 (Plunger). This rifle would be legal anywhere with just a simple swap of the ignition. 8)

if you knew somebody with a lathe it would be easy to turn/thread a new bolt handle, personally I like the MK-85 `s better.

The MK-95 was actually built off the MK-85 platform. If you have the plunger (#11) ignition in the MK-95 then you basically have and MK-85. The Posi-fire ignition was the first ignition that Knight built that was Weather proof. It was discontinued when the Bolt action Original DISC (Orange) was introduced.

I'm Probably a bit more biased towards the MK-95 since it was my first Inline. I would sell my MK-85 before giving up my MK-95's. :wink:
