New project in the works.

Remember awhile back when Knight announced the BH209 plug on the Ultimate Slam would not interchange on the Extreme and Elite models? I do really well and it was frustrating.

It's no secret that i really like Knight Rifles. After speaking with Dave, we were talking about designing a plug that would achieve 100% BH209 ignition with very little blow back if any.

Now the time has come to start planning a test plug i should say. I figured it would be nice to hear some of your opinions or idea's on what you would like to see.

I do want to mention Dave is very qualified to do this. He has made the speed breech plugs for the T/C triumph for T/C. I believe another company out bid the job and he did not get the contract. So he is very qualified to make these plugs safe and effective for our Knight muzzleloaders.

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. I'm hoping to be testing a plug sometime in June.

Would they fit a LK-II and a LK-93? Basically a Wolverine that shoots #11 caps.

I would certainly like to voice a positive + for myself. I would love to have a cleaner breech plug in the Extreme.

If Lehigh Dave can design one at a reasonable price - I would be very receptive.

So I vote get er done...

I agree that would be great.

Grouse45: Count me in !

I don't care if it's a bare primeror using the red disc. As long as it gives reliable igntion with BH209 and very little primer fowling.

I don't think so cayugad. We might just be able to make that conversion as well.

That's the plan. Dave already has some good idea's.

+1 - All my rifles are Knight I say Go for it !

I tested the flame channel this past weekend. Things are looking very positive. This will sure make shooting these Muzzleloaders alot more desirable with out all the mess.

The blow back is always a problem, not only for cleaning but it sometimes scares some of the people just getting interested in the sport. Lee
