I too believe the QLA problem is very real and not just a single-batch problem. But I also think both Knight and TC are capable of (and often do) building the best mass production muzzleloaders available today. Knight (Green Mountain) has a better handle on barrel consistency based upon my ownership of several of each, past and present.
And I really don't see why this discussion should be confrontational in the least. If we all liked the exact same thing - it would be a boring world.
