I purchased a Knight MK-85 predator and i want to set it up to shoot with large magnum primers. There are little brass inserts that the primer fits in and then that goes on the end of the breach plug..i am having a hard time finding some of the brass inserts or primer holders...just wondering if anyone out there can help me, atleast with the "real" name of the brass inserts? Thanks
You could always contact Knight Rifles and see if they can help you out or have options for changing over the ignition.

Hey Bo, could you by any chance be thinking of the VariFlame Primer Adapter? If so, your gun has to be set up to take 209 primers. The VariFlame is the same size and shape as a regular 209 shotgun shell primer, but you load it withsmall rifle or small pistol primers. Check the link.

No its not, i have one setup on a MK-85 now, im just looking for more brass adapters...it is a conversion for Large Magnum rifle primers...my dad has the one that is setup right now, i will get some pictures and post them here..
the primer adapter i am looking for is knight #900611 if anyone can find any of these or has any of these please let me know where i can find them...i called Knight and they said i was the first one in a very very long time to ask for this part, they said the do not stock them and cannot find them either anymore..the call it a primer adapter for the MK-85 to use larger pistol or rifle primers...thanks everyone
I have used a mk85 since they first came out. I started out with number 11 percussion caps,then to musket caps, then to using their 209 conversion kit. Now I'm back to musket caps since I can only use t7 in it and not blackhorn.I have never heard of what you are talking about unless its the thing I saw on the precision bullet website about using 25 cal primers in some set up. for hunting i much perfer musket caps with my triple 7. they are much much easier then putting one of those plastic inserts with the primer on the nipple in a rushed hunting situation for a second shot.rws musket caps work great and i have never had a misfire.
When i get to my dads i will take some pictures and post them here. I called Knight and they gave me the part number, said they do not carry them anymore and dont know where i can get any. They said i am the first caller in a very very long time to ask for them. I will keep looking..i have some so i will take a picture of them. I will check with some machine shops and see if i can have some made. Thanks everyone for the help
bo
Definetly take some pics, I have had MK-85's for years and never seen anything like your describing. I do have a original DISC rifle that has inserts you put in the orange discs to shoot #11 caps.
