Back to the Mountaineer rifle. No doubt it's a good rifle. However, it appears that Knight does not make much of that gun. The barrel is made by Green Mountain, the breechplug and bolt by LeHigh and the ramrod by Easton.
What part of the gun does Knight actually manufacture?

stainless steel can not be hardened. Therefore when compared with regular steel it is slightly stronger than an un-hardened (grade 2) steel fastener but significantly weaker than hardened steel fasteners.

I don't understand why you're pushing this so hard?

Im with you Semi.......enjoyed reading the post only problem I have is the ****ey replys. Before someone makes a certain statement how about a little background of ones expertise. Another question comes to my mind is what about all those guns that cost 1/3 the price of say a T/C or Knight. Are they using inferior products?

To be honest, why even test something that you already no is not better? Maybe to save money, but in his case he's not when you factor time and materials. A savage vent-liner cost $3.00 bucks and will last most people several years with BH209.
Muley Hunter, i don't like being called a liar. I am far from perfect, and make many mistakes. A liar i am not. That is what ruffled my feathers.

What you said above i agree 100%
Now if that rapid erosion happens at the range, and powder drops into the breech plug???? Just ask Henry Ball what could happen.
I should also explain this. The quality of the breech plug makes a difference as well. A high quality plug will make a difference versus a cheap soft cva plug.

I have proven everything that i said.

I agree about being called a liar. That gets me upset too. Especially when someone thinks they have you figured out from a few posts.

Information available read that 18-8 stainless has a tensile strength of 125,000 psi. The tensile strength of hardened grade 5 steel is read at 120,000 psi. Numbers in print indicate that stainless is stronger than grade 5 hardened steel, which you have written isn't true.
Very very little of what you have written is 'proven', let alone true.
