If you read all the pages of the thread there is another besides the origional poster who received the same bad craftsmanship.
How would you like it if you ordered a brand new truck and it was delivered with a scratch that ran down the whole side of it. Would you say, "its ok it does not effect how it drives.". I think not. He paid for a LE muzzleloader but got a refurb.

And I guarantee you that if I had bought a new truck and it had a scratch down it, I would have said something to the place I bought it, furthermore, how does that relate to a muzzleloading thread? Instead of being part of the problem, try being part of the solution!!!!

If it was just a finish it probably wouldnt be much of an issue but this just doesn't look right and is far worse than any i have owned or seen. I would be very surprised if a NFPJ would even fit in that.
Im sure Knight will make it right but that looks like something made in China or has been refurbished....partially

Yes I did read all the pages, there has been no attempt, from my readings, that anyone has attempted to contact Knight!
And I guarantee you that if I had bought a new truck and it had a scratch down it, I would have said something to the place I bought it, furthermore, how does that relate to a muzzleloading thread? Instead of being part of the problem, try being part of the solution!!!!

Mine came same day as Chets ,same condition also but I cant get pics that clear I just sent off an email to Gordy telling him I was dissatisfied with this bolt that I want a bolt like I sent them and they misplaced chromed and included a picture of the bolt in the rifle. We will see what happens. He had just sent me a email about looking into the delay of getting the bolt I havent received an answer to my response to that one yet it was sent 1 day before getting new one from ups.
Its on page 2. He did email them like I advised.
GM,
Knightrider posted nothing about fixing the problem only about the new guns.

He mentioned the new bolts are nearly finished. Im assuming he will do the right thing since that has been my experience when dealing with him and Sam. I would have preferred a more "committed" response too about replacements so im going into "wait and see" mode.

Gee Whiz! I had to leave early this morning to head down to a early spring Rondy shoot and now that I am back hear I can not believe how the thread has grown....
It is Sunday guys a lot of this happened on the weekend, i do not think Knight is home on the weekends. I guess I figured there would be further work on this early this week, once they (Knight) gets by the Monday morning rush.
I believe Knight will, no I am sure Knight will want a satisfied customer and I am willing to lay a glove down that Knight will fix this problem or any other problem as they have in the past and will do in the future.
But, before we hang 'em let's let them come back to work.
Someone earlier in the thread made mention of the fact that these parts should have never made it out of the building, which I think everyone can agree with, but do we know how the mess up occurred - that is what I am betting is going to be the hot topic at Knight - not whether they need to repair/replace what has been done - that is the automatic part of the process. How do they keep it happening again is the problem that the company leaders will need to address.
The other thing that comes to mind, I am betting a buck that chetmarks, never thought this thread would go quite so negative so fast... He honestly just put up a picture and more less asked 'do you think this is right' Not sure he has even had time to address the issure with Knight himself - well he couldn't it is the weekend.
We are all stressed out about the bolts and I think some have overlooked the other part of the story in that the recoil lug on one gun might be canted a bit or out of place.
It would be my suggestion instead of throwing daggers - we give everyone a couple of working days to deal with the problems. If they are not handled to satisfaction - then we have plenty of time to discuss the bad things.
But, none of this reduces the fact that the problems should not made it out of the building in the first place - but unfortunately it happens....
I could tell you of a recent Office Depot problem i had tht would have you all shaking your heads and throwing daggers...
Give them time to work together...

I agree with you Mike, and I think they will work it out with Chet. I do not mean to bash Knight Rifles as I have always been a big supporter of them and an avid user of their product. I guess that is why I am upset that something like this could happen. After all he bought the rifle as a Christmas present and was told they were waiting on the bolts. So it isn't like a defective bolt just happened to slip by quality control.
Anyway, best wishes to Chet in getting a good functioning rifle and best wishes to Knight Rifles in turning out a quality product.
