Seems that is the current thought, and since it is not my gun - decided I had better get started....

Started in the breech area.... Removed the bolt, very little fouling on the bolt. It will be a snap to clean.

Removed the Lehigh BP and as you can see not much to cleaning on it either. You can see that a blow-back free seal was achieved with the teflon tape. The BP had been installed with a socket and ratchet to the snug position. The 'vent liner' turned easily out of the business end of the BP and will also be pretty easy to clean. The plug did require a little more pressure on the ratchet than what I put it in with - but once popped it backed out very easily.

The picture of the receiver floor shows very little fouling in that area also. One windex patch cleaned the receiver floor and a breech brush removed the old teflon tape caught in the barrel plug threads. I then ran a fiber bore brush in the breech thread area to clean the threads to the metal.

Barrel bore - 2 windex patches and a Hoppes patch that came out clean cleaned up the barrel. But I will now complete cleaning and lubricating the bore, before sending ot back to Dave.

Here are some pictures of what I found...



Those of you that have followed the development of the Lehigh Gen II plug know that the primer shelf in the plug is set at 0.195" deep and for most Knights that is an excellent number. In my guns and in this particular DISC Original - if the primer shelf were set at 0.190" - it would be a perfect to snug seal on W209's and Fed 209A's. That would eliminate all BP blow-back. BUT! because of the tolerance differences in the Knight bolts and even the barreld action - 0.195" seems to be the better all around measurement.
