Hello,
New here to the forum and after researching some things on the internet decided this place was a good place to get information.
I bought when (NEW) an original Knight DISC Rifle (orange discs). I never used it much. Fired it a few times and really couldn't get a very accurate load so, and didn't like all the cleaning so, I put it in the safe until yesterday.
I opened the safe pulled out the rifle and had to break free the breach plug. I gave it a thorough cleaning and got on line to see what has changed, if I could still find the discs, and maybe an accurate load.
Seems to me everyone has changed the bolt and BP to use red discs or bare 209 primers and BH209 powder for better accuracy, less cleaning. Firstly, I cannot find any of these items on line. No conversion kits, and no BH209.
Questions:
1. Should I bother trying to upgrade my Knight disc rifle, or just purchase a newer model to get the ease of loading, unloading, cleaning, accuracy and distance?
2. I would rather upgrade my rifle if possible. If it is possible my understanding is that I can convert it from an "Original" to an Extreme which will take the red discs, then from there, I can buy a different breach plug to accept the bare 209 primers. Is this correct?
3. If I am able to eventually find a conversion kit. Can someone recommend some loads? I belie ve the barrel is 26" SS with 1:28 twist rate.
4. If its not worth the time, effort, or $$$, and I know this is like asking whats better Ford, Chevy, or RAM, what are some recommendations? I have been looking at the CVA ACCURA. However, I can't find any of those in stock either!
I am on the verge of just sticking to my bow and arrows. At least those are in stock. LOL
Any and all help and advice is very appreciated. Thank you in advance for your time.
