That was quick!
 

I'm waiting for the scope to get here though.

Nice looking gun. You will have to let us know how it shoots and if the bh209 works in it.

Very nice looking rifle there. You need to shoot that thing ASAP.

BH209 will not work in it. You can put a 5 grain booster of T7 or pyrodex down first and then it fires BH209 perfectly. A great deal of Electra owners are doing this.

Why is this? Does the electronic ignition not produce a "hot enough" spark?

The rifle looks nice. I like the stock, kinda reminds me of a stock I saw on a Knight Original Disc Rifle one time. That really is a heckuva price for what your getting.

Cayugad should buy one of these things.....

Exactly, not enough heat to light the BH209.

Ok. I never would have figured that it would have a problem with Blackhorn. I would have thought the electronic ignition would be hotter than hell.

Try hooking it up to the coil pack on your truck

No, that would be too hot. Would probably leave a crud ring. :biggrin:

Everything I've read that people have written is that it will not fire Blackhorn 209, but, it says right on the box "ELECTRONIC ARC IGNITION-UP TO 5X HOTTER THAN 209 PRIMERS." Yet you say it isn't hot enough? I believe it won't fire Blackhorn 209, but that does't make any sense to me.

If its real cold outside, I wonder if the electronic ignition loses some of its power to ignite the charge? How reliable is the ignition?

Myself, i have never seen an Electra; nor have i ever seen what the breech plug looks like. It is quite possible my post here is totally irrelevant.

My Accura used to suffer delay, and once a mis-fire when using BH209 powder. What i did was modify the breech plug. Ever since, the rifle is 100% reliable igniting BH in all kinda weather. Any shot gun primer can be used. Magnum primer are not required. Perhaps the Electra breech plug can be modified to be work with BH. Photo show what was done to the Accura breech plug.

Mod it with a new Bosch Platinum from Autozone?

there must be a way to amp the spark just like a car to fire longer and hotter the cirket board is the place to look and noing what each pice of the board dose and what to replace would do it just thinking good luck and it looks like a nice gun

im sure you can jump the spark up a bit with some new resistors but then you really stand the chance of being up a creek when something burns out.

When you duplex Blackhorn with black powder do you have to clean the rifle with hot water and Hoppe's?

I don't. Its such a small amount that i just use the regular 2 in 1 bore scrubber.

Thanks, but I was kidding.

Looks like you are going to have to take that gun out, pour some bh209 down it and see what she does. Can't hurt to try.

I can't wait to play with it but I will have to wait until I can make the journey to the range, unfortunately. Also, the scope isn't scheduled to arrive for another few days yet. It's not like I don't have anything else to play with. I just have so little time and the range is too far away. I just put scope ring extensions on the Knight Vision and it needs to be sighted in also.

Well what scope did you put on it?

Sorry. I don't fuss about scopes. Every one I've ever looked through gave me a better sight picture than my tired old eyes will give me. It's the one that came with the rifle in the rifle/scope combo. The manual on the scope says Sport Optics. It is a 3x9x40 with a Bullet Drop Compensating reticle. There is no brand name on the scope itself. I think The Sportsman's Guide sends these out with all of their rifle/scope combinations.
