Welllll - i actually thought about it and you at the time... You are lucky i could not find your address, but it would come with the camo stock and the original grey laminate and other accessories.



And the really pretty one...



Underclocked really does not like this one...

Well, for all the difficulty the gun is very accurate. The vertical stringing was probably caused by the primer.

Don't you know all you get with a muzzleloader is one shot?

My LRH tends to stick primers (Pretty much all brands), but never hard enough that they bolt won't pull them out.

Isn't that an original Knight Disc???

If so, why mess with perfection???

Go back to the original discs and real black powder or Pyrodex....

Yes that is an original Knight Disc. And with the orange jackets it shot beautiful. Sabotloader was kind enough to help set this rifle up for the Lehigh, and then he got to play with it a little. And it never acted up, until today. Other then when it was having a misfire problem with Winchester W209 and Blackhorn. And the rifle is a great shooter without argument.

I have a couple of lehigh conversion plugs and so far using federal primers I have never had that happen. My factory mountaineer bare primer plug does that sometimes and I have to fire the spent primer and then it falls right out.
Hope it straightens out for you . It sure would be frustrating.

So if it jams, you fire it again as if it were live and that helps it fall out? I never tried that. But I sure will. Thanks!!

Correct. This happens frequently. The discharge pushes part of the primer back into the firing pin hole and wont allow the primer to fall out. A quick dry fire and the pin pushes the primer back out and your problem is solved.

My primer is sticking in the primer pocket of the breech plug, not allowing the bolt to be pulled back/opened. Not sure we are talking about the same thing
