Lehigh Coversion Kits Becomming Available
I was dinging around on Dave's web site and noticed that he is now ready to accept orderes for the last avaible 200 kits from Lehigh. Once they are gone you wil have to purchase them from Knight Rifles directly.
You might take a cruise over to Lehigh... Be sure and read the direction about purchase... the part about accepting order... then the expected shipping dates... and how you are goingto get charged....

I have no idea how long these are going to last so if you inclined to get one probably ought to do it soon...

Beat ya by an hour.
With Lehigh being contracted to do Knight's work, do you know if this will be the last run of these?

These will be/should be the last ones that Lehigh will be able to sell direct from his place. The kits that he is doing for Knight will be exactly the same other than the the vent liner will not be removable.

Sabot how long will the vent liners last? I got two of them with my original kit but not sure how to tell how long they last? He is out of stock on these now, do you know if he will continue to make them after he goes full production with Knight?

I lost track along time ago on my 45 but I at one time had 300 shots through it and i would think I probably have double that by now. The liner shows no sign of wear. Tom, who has been shooting them since the beginning, has well over that in his 45 and he shoots 140 grain loads of BH. I am not sure a human shooting subs can burn one out.

I just ordered another spare too since i never know when i may see another Knight i want to buy. Considering his new new contract obligations, its a safe bet on a great product.
I doubt the vent liners will wear out in the Knight version but being able to remove the liner for cleaning is a big plus to me and worth waiting for his arrive is a small price to pay.

Question for the guys that know more about this than I,
The only reason I can come up with for making it non-removable is perhaps a financial advantage/improved profit margin for the manufacturer? When the vent liner erodes in the non-removable version will a person just throw out the breech plug and be forced to buy a new breech plug/vent liner assembly versus buying just an inexpensive vent liner?
Maybe the "average Joe" will not wear out the vent liner- somebody that does little target shooting and mostly just hunts in the Fall?
Please forgive me if my question is off target or has an obvious answer; as I am still learning about Knight/Lehigh conversions and it's all pretty much new to me. Thanks
