Knight Disc Rifle identification & Lehigh conversi

[frozentundra]

I have an older Knight disc rifle but I am unsure exactly which model it is. I want to get the extreme conversion kit and the Lehigh breech plug.









Will the Disc EXtreme Conversion Kit #900607 work in this rifle? And if so will the Lehigh Genertation II Breech Plug Kit be the last piece to this puzzle?



Thanks, Rich

That looks like a Master Hunter II so it may or may not fit. Very few dont fit and even then just a light sanding on the bolt face will fix that most of the time.

If it takes the Orange primer jackets (FPJs) then you would also need a Extreme bolt that takes the Red (FPJs) jackets.

Yes it uses the orange discs, I just wanted to make sure before dropping the cash on the bolt.

Then yes you need at least the Bolt and the Lehigh conversion should fit. Due to differences in tolerance there is a chance you might need a little sanding on the bolt face for it to work. Most that i know of did not need any alterations but it is a simple fix.

My GMB54 was listed as might not fit and it fit perfect.

BTW that is a SUPER NICE Knight. The Original MH series were outstanding guns and IMO are still one of the best. Sometimes you can find the red FPJ bolt conversions on GunBroker a bit cheaper too.

I finally got around to installing Extreme conversion and the Lehigh breech plug, it went very smooth until I put the bolt set screw in, if I screw it in any further than 3/4 of the way or so the bolt will not open any more than 1/4 to 3/8".
Any ideas?

Also are there any decent one piece scope mounts like the Durasight or DNZ available for this rifle?

Gordy said if you have a polished bolt the Lehigh Genertation II Breech Plug Kit will work without sanding on the bolt face.

It closes fine, it just wont open after the set screw is put in. I tried to call there today but no one called back, will try again tomorrow. I would like to convert it to the quick release, maybe that will cure the problem at the same time.

After looking over the situation again and it ended up being that the diameter of the end of the supplied set screw was too large, I put it in a drill and sanded it down until if fit into the slot in the bolt easily.

Success, thanks!

i am having the same problem with the screw.
how much did you take off the screw to get it to work.
thanks

The one that came with the conversion kit was a little smaller in diameter so I used that one and just kept sanding till it fit, it didn't take much just make sure to work the bolt a little to make sure you are in the bolt groove.

I ordered a Quick Release Bolt Screw Assembly #008462 from Knight and am just waiting on the 1/4-36 tap. This looks like a much better system than removing that screw every time you have to clean it.

I Put in my Lehigh conversion, Had to take the 7/16 socket down in the lathe.
Could have been just the socket I was using. "Too thick"
Has anyone had to do this.

I had the same problem with a 1/2 inch x 7/16 socket but a 1/4 inch x 7/16 socket fit just fine.

FWIW, I just picked up a 3/8" drive, 7/16" socket that was tapered, from ACE Hardware that works well.
