I think GM54-120, might have a better handle on this, because when he purchased his LRH he had a choice of triggers to choose. With that I do believe that Knight was handling both Timney's and secondary less expensive Timney functioning trigger.

The only Knight I have that I know is a Timney is the MK-85, the others - I have never even looked because they function so well I guess it did not matter to me.

I would bet the triggers in the original LRH and the early MH & MHC series rifles were Timney's.

I just wondered why the queen of CVA


BTW i will check the higher end trigger i got from Knight again. My MK did have a true Timney and the target trigger i bought looked the same but i don't remember seeing "Timney" on that trigger or the GMB54's trigger. Both are excellent though and a nice improvement over any imported ML trigger i have tried.

Only my NULA trigger is better IMO and it is a true Timney. The MK trigger though is really really close in quality.

Grouse, Is Knight actively building a dealer network?

I never expected this gun to be as good as it is. Like you say, people are going to need to see them to spend the $799.00 bucks. Though i was very surprised at how many are already sold. I'm probably going to buy the anniversary model this year.


They have been to a couple of the big sporting goods stores already. They do have a marketing team and a sales team. I have had no contact with them. I'm sure i will talk to them at the NRA show this month and see how that's working out.

Sabotloader, are you trying to start trouble with your name calling?

All i wanted to know is what parts knight built on their rifles, i wasnt trying to talk down on them for anything.

My last was an LK93 but i traded it to cayugad. Knight stocks are iffy for me, the LK93 i took a chance on and the stock actually fit me pretty good.

It's a forked recoil lug like the Elite.

Nice looking rifle. Best of luck to Knight. They have a quality product, I hope they succeed.

Does anybody know if they plan to make a left-handed version of any of their current bolt-action muzzleloaders?
