Well it got here Tuesday... I rescued this from a Bass Pro in MO with the help of GM54-120. It apparently has been in the store for quite awhile. It has a very low 3 digit serial number.
Anyway GM54-120 was wondering around the store and found several new Knights in the bargan rack - He bought two of them and then posted that there was one DISC Elite left in the rack. I contacted him about the gun and he was good enough to run back to the store and corral it for me. It was mislabled in the rack (think it had Vision tag on it) and was missing the bolt and ram-rod. He and the counterman on duty at the time searched for the missing parts - found them and then called me - I bought and had it shipped here.
Got it all cleaned up yesterday - the bore was really ugly with dust and fur balls... might have been some living insects in there also. The gun had definitely been handled a lot in the years that it was in the store - but a good rub down with 'Flitz' made it look good as new on the outside.
Next, i attacked the bore with bore cleaner and JB's - it is now shiny and smooth as a babies bottom.
Installed a new Leupold U-Slam on this afternoon and bore sighted it with a laser light.
Now I just need to find some time to go shoot it.... We have all three grandchildren here this week - it is their spring break - so, I do not have near the time I normally have.... might not get to shoot it until next week, which might not be all that bad as winter type weather has returned to the Palouse this week.
I did put a modified Lehigh NFPJ in the gun and cycled all of the primers I have through it... worked great - it should really be a clean firing gun....
Here is the first picture of what i hope will be an eye ball shooting 45 cal.... I am sending a Knight stock down to Lewiston to be camo dipped and it will eventually end up under this barreld action....
