I asked this over on the inline forum and was refered to all of you guys. I have a Knight KRB and I'm looking to possibly put on a fast twist .50 cal. barrel. I'M NOT LOOKING TO GO SMOKELESS THE ACTION IS NOT DESIGNED FOR IT. I ALREADY KNOW THIS. I have modified my action for 100 % clean ignition of BH209 using an o-ring in the primer pocket and heavier springs in my block assembly. I can get a barrel blank from several places but nobody can install it so far. I was refered over here beacuse some of you samrt people might know where I could get it installed or possibly install it for me. thanks.

No I have not contacted them yet, I contacted them a few years back on a barrel for my LK-93 and they told me that evern though they made the barrels for them I had to go through Knight. However this maybe different since I want a new one not a replacement. Thanks never thought of that.

If you got pacnor or someone else to make a smokeless capable barrel then put a savage breechplug in it ,regardless of your frame , you would be able to shoot smokeless ,by the way.
If I'm wrong on this concept moderators please step in.
That point was made a couple of months ago that the breechplug, not the frame was taking the extreme pressure. So, if you can't get green mountain to make one, you might as well build a smokeless ml anyway even if you never shoot smokeless.
Just to clarify things,

Oh ok it was my understanding that you needed a solid action like a bolt or a break action so that the primer was held against the BP with absolutly no chance of unseating. I could be wrong.

I do not think you could get Green Mountain to touch a smokeless ML barrel with a 10' pole.

Thats actually fine so far the only company I have actually contacted was Pac-Nor and will make me a blank but won't install it. Again I'm actually looking for a fast twist barrel not particularly looking to go smokeless at this time. The folks over on the inline board thought I could fine some help on barrel installs over here.

Is this it-  It would seem if the barrel can be removed a machinist could match the blank to it then it would just need drilled and tapped for a plug and head spaced? |

Give me some time and yes I can pull out the trigger and block assembly and post some pics. I can also remove the fore end and post pics of how the barrel attaches. It looks pretty straight forward. Rangeball it appears that nothing is posted except words.

You do realize that a "one off" action as yours will cost you considerably more to rebarrel than the more popular actions being used for rebarrels. It's just me, but it seems like a lot of expense to go through without ending up with the performance of smokeless. That action would have to have a pretty slow lock-time compared to some of the other outside hammered actions. But hey, if you like it and it suits your needs go for it. I had a couple of guys out to my range with those and they were not that impressive. Maybe that's what they needed-----rebarreled. Good Luck on your switch!

Actually until I scoped my gun last week I could reload and lock up just as fast as any break open design outthere. As for the accuracy mine is great, with my new scope I can put almost any thing inside a one inch circle at 100 yds, and was averaging 2 1/2 inch groups at 150 yds. with my Wiliams FP receive sight. I find that pretty good accuracy. I have been told by several very knollage able gun smiths that the barrel on a KRB was one of the most accurate Knight ever used it was the action thats flawed. The stock KRB is very dirty a lot of blow back due to the lack of any primer seal at all. I have modified my BP with a Lehigh ventliner and an o ring in the primer pocket for absolutely no blow back and 100 % ignition with BH209. Now maybe that makes my gun exceptional on an accuracy standpoint maybe it don't. I look outside the normal to the different. Everybody I spoke to told me not to buy a KRB7 but I did and I love it. While most people are re-barreling to 45 cal. I'm looking to go fast 50 cal. Plus saving money for a new Knight. Thanks

Hornet,
Now you can relate to how the rebirth of the 700ml is all about , I can't see how guns with blowby ever got out of the factories, if they didn't they would still be making them. JAT
