Knight ultra lite

[dwm]

I see that knight is offering the ultra lite barrel for sale separately for 339. not a bad way to have both 45 and 50

I didn't know they were offering the UL barrel.

I know they've offered the regular mountaineer barrel for a while. I agree - if you have one rifle, you could purchase another barrel and with a tiny amount of swapping have another rifle, for not alot of $.

Surprised it's the same price with or without sights.

Would that fit on a Knight mountaineer 50 cal stock and what comes with the barrel?

A Ulite barrel will drop right in a Mountaineer stock. Might need a little bedding in front on the lug for the perfect fit. About 1-2" in front of the lug is all. The barrel is a lighter contour than a Mountaineer but otherwise its a drop in replacement.

I’d buy one if it was nitrite (sp), oh heck, may buy one anyway.

Post#6, we’re talking about ultralite barrels.

OOps you are right a ULite barrel in a Mountaineer stock - it is still a go!

I emailed knight about buying a nitride barrel kit, they told me they are not offering the nitride option barrel kit, I sent another email seeing if they would reconsider

Well they said sorry we just can’t sell you a nitride barrel kit.they are probably having a hard time getting them done

When I purchased my mountaineer, I had emailed Justin Perry asking about the nitride vs the ceracoat and he assured me that they were just as effective as the other. Don’t know much about the nitride, if it is inside the barrel or not, where as the ceracoat most likely is only on the out side but you could buy the plain stainless barrel and have someone coat it for you.

I have a stainless 45, I was just sorry I didn’t get the nitride.I don’t believe you can have a barrel nitrided after the treatment knight does on their barels

No, their DynaTek coating will keep the saltbath from getting to the metal to nitride it.

 

[birdog]

Can the Dynatek coating be removed?

You want it for the added protection or the black color? I think you can still ceracoat over the dynatec if it’s the color you are wanting.

Both

 

[280Bravo]

And they don’t even tell you if it’s a 1:20 or 30 twist barrel

 

[GM54-120]

Im pretty sure they only offered the Ulite 45s in 1-20.

nitride is no where close to ceracoat. The nitride process involves putting the part (barrel) in a molten salt bath. Every bit of exposed surface is treated, barrel bore included. No dimensional changes occur.
Ceracoat alters the dimensions, it has some significant thickness and can't go in the bore. It's basically a paint job for cosmetics.

I offer nitriding barrels, but that Dynatec stuff contaminates the salt bath and therefore they will not do them.
Modern Spartan Systems just came out with a coating that they say is more durable than ceracoat. It does not require heating to cure. It is called DutyKote.
