Knight extreme .45 twist??
 

I have a chance to pick up a Knight disc extreme .45 in SS and a th stock. guy says it was his dad's and was only used one season, cleaned and put away. Says it is immaculate, inside and out.

I am just wandering the twist on the barrel, did they have a set twist or was certain ones, different. I think I am going to buy it anyway, I can get it for less than 200.00

Gordy says all 45 knight DISC Extremes are 1-30

Sounds like a pretty good deal. The 45 is fun to mess with. You can buy 100 200 grain XTP's for $20. It's great for the range and game.

I am cheap, i will probably miss out over 25 bucks. He wants 225 with a cheap scope, I told him I didn't want the scope and he came down to 200. I told him I would give him 175.00 and he is thinking about it.

My advantage is season is almost over (this weekend) and most people won't invest in a gun, they cant use, for another year. Or not around here, anyway.

He sent me pics, it looks like new on the outside has a SS fluted barrel and a block TH composite stock.

The only problem I have with the Mountaineer is the cleaning which is getting easier, everytime! The break and drop actions have spoiled me.

The other problem, I have is the bare primer bolt nose. Cleaning it is a PITA and getting the primer in the nose is about the same.

The extreme doesn't have the bolt issues and as I said the cleaning is getting better.

What do you use to clean your bolt nose, I haven't found anything yet that works good. cant get a brush in there correctly and afraid to use solvent with the pin, right there. afraid I will gum it up.

You know you can easily remove the hammer assembly from the bolt housing, and you acrually should on occasion to clean and lubricate the hammer spring. With the bolt apart you can then spray cleaner into and on the bolt housing. I do use a plain old toothpick and solvent to clean out the primer rail system.

I'm having flash backs. ;) You guys should really try an Accura if you haven't already.

Already have, your point? :popcorn:

The bolt nose on the Mountaineer should be really clean. I spray oil on it and wipe it off. Of course primers make a difference as well. With Winchester primers it's really clean.

The biggest problem I have with the bolt on the Mountaineer is just getting my cold fingers to get the primer in the tracks on the bolt face. It is a little cumbersome at times. I don't like it when it is real cold out. I've also ran into the problem of some of my spent primers getting stuck in the bolt after firing?

I seen where Mike was telling my BIL that Knight has redone or I guess drilled the primer pocket, a little larger to accept different primers. Also added a hardening process to the BP. I use Fed209A's and hate to switch, they are easily available to me at a great price and they have always worked well in my TC's, never a FTF.

Endeavor has written a email to lehigh dave with no response, in 4 days??? He said he also left a message for Gordy at Knight on Monday morning with no response, as well. We are both having the same problem.

I called and talked to Mellisa in CS and she said she would try to figure something out for me, because Gordy was out of town. I am waiting for her return call.

Gordy and Dave from Lehigh are out of town.
