I contacted knight rifles by e-mail their first response was accusatory and slightly insulting, not outright hostile though. It didn't address (maybe intentionally) the issue. I replied to the 1st and the second reply was much shorter and simply said that the customer relations dept. was trying get the company to cut ties w/ USO as they put it "before USO runs further amuck". It sounded like the powers that be in knight were dragging their feet at the idea though. It's a good start, but I'm still not buying a knight; not yet anyway.
