Default Knight LK-II

I found one at a local gun shop for 199. Is it worth it? Don't know much about knights. Its a blued barrel with black thumb hole stock in .50 cal. I don't know if I really NEED it. I have my Triumph. I do know that its set up for #11 caps. Any ideas???

I haven't seen a MK or LK that wouldn't shoot well yet. Most people would consider the price a tad high but the TH stock is desirable. They are very simple design with a very good lock time for a plunger gun. 209 FPJ conversions are available but not really needed.

If its in really good shape and you like it.......get it

IMO it is worth it. But I would pass. I have seen alot of good deals on MK-85's for not much more than that. And IMO the MK-85 is worth considerably more than the LK. Just an opinion. But I have been seeing some great condition MK-85's for under $300. A couple for even $225. Tom.

Too much if you're looking for a deal.

As a reference, a guy who is always at the local gun shows has a couple of new ones he's selling for $139. Lot's LK's around but if you want a new toy, it's your call.

That's what I thought. Considering I can get a cva wolf under 200 new. The last thing I need is a new gun.

while the thumbhole stock is nice, I purchased one a few years back, brand new for $149.99 And there was a store selling the version that had the thinned out hunting stocks once for $75.00 . I have one of them as well now. So you can decide what it is worth.

If this is brand new in the box it might be worth that. They are good shooters with about 85 grains of powder and a good bullet.

So true...i sold a NIB MK85 54cal Predator for $225 shipped with a few extras. Granted it was a 54cal so most people wont pay as much for them. A MK85 IMO is still the best value (in good shape) and the trigger is really hard to beat.

I only sold mine because i already have what i consider the best 54cal for ME and i know it went to a good home.
