Tony Knight sold Knight Rifles and all the rights to another company, from my understanding they kept him on to design new rifles, etc, this new company went under, as far as Tony I have no idea if he went bankrupt

Him selling Knight Rifles is old news but I hadn't heard he went bankrupt. Maybe some people just assumed he was having financial issues when he announced he was selling his company.

Knight rifles is in the process of "going bankrupt" or reorganizing. Happened at the start of this past summer. But the company IS still doing warranty service and selling parts, they are just not making/selling rifles any more.

Tony Knight is not going bankrupt as far as I have heard. As stated, he sold the company several years ago, so he is associated with them only by name.

I have just returned to BP after about 20+ yrs I purchased a Knight Disc and converted it to a Knight Disc Extreme. My point is any person who can make a company that can make high quality ML like this should never ever have to go Bankrupt. One of these days I hope to run in on a Knight Disc Elite 50cal. I guess I got back into BP a little to late.
Mr. Knight if your reading these post. Get Your Company Back and start making the Knight Disc Elites again it's the ML everyone talks about.

You aren't too late to get an Elite, I just bought one a couple weeks ago and I believe they still have a couple left.

Here is the second group I shot with the Elite.

Also , Tony sold the company and retired to his farm in Centerville to enjoy his windfall.

The company then went through tough times sailing like a ship without a compass. Ebscodid it to themselves.
I believe Tonys last hurrah was the 52 Extreme.

It is my understanding he had nothing to do with the latest versions and models.

If Tony would call Doc White and the two of them partner up...I would buy the first White Knight off the assembly line!!!In a HB!!
