Default RE: KP1 is here

Thanks guys. Lane, got it via a friend with an FFL so it was about as good a price as one might find.

Weather forecast looks lousy here for the next several days, so shooting is going to have to wait a bit. I'll most likely start with a load of ~80 grains of ffg T7 or Swiss, overpowder wad, and a UC Short (of course ). The Short is a ~443 grain .504 conical.
One thing I forgot to mention is the hammer and safety action. Mainly because I haven't looked hard enough at that just yet to see what is going on there. There is no half-cock position and cocking involves a relatively short hammer travel.


I might pull that assembly back out today and see if I can determine just what is going on in there. I do know the hammer will "fire" from either safety position but I've yet to see what is happening with the firing pin. There is a transfer bar of sorts down in there. Given Knight's prior use of double-safeties, you can be pretty certain the rifle is well designed in that regard.
