I agree. The thing that I find interesting though is people talk about guns that require tweaking and whatnot after you buy them and how you shouldn't have to do that. I would certainly not want to buy a gun, have to buy a special breechplug for BH209, headspace shims, new finish, etc.. The low price may look good at first but start adding all that in there it doesn't look as appealing in my opinion.

Cmon, lets not exaggerated.. BP and shims are about $30, and aren't absolutely needed. The finish is on CVA.

Hardly adds up to the price of a TC, and especially a Knight.

Muley,
My Triumph cost $249 on clearence. And the weathershield is just fine. Breechplug works with BH209.HOw much are the MR'S? CVA needs to make things right with Rafsob. And Im sure they will

How much is the Bone Collector? That would be an equal model to the MR.

Optima would be in the Triumph class.

This isn't true. Knight breech plugs ignite Blackhorn just fine, without modification.

To be fair. So does the CVA.

After adjusting the head space which is a 2 min job. Using a magnum primer, and keeping the flash channel clean. I never had a failure with BH, or even a delayed fire.

We were shooting BH long before the BH BP's came out.

Once again you are off base MD - That is not true - all of the new Knigts come with a BH compatible plug.

This isn't true. Breech plug needs to be modified or replaced with a Blackhorn compatible plug. We have learned this the hard way. You probably have used the standard plug with Blackhorn a few times, and it worked just fine, is why you have this opinion. I too shot Blackhorn many times with the standard plug. When one least expects it; there will be a hang fire...............................many of us had this happen at a very inopportune time. This is not my opinion, it is fact.

The fact is Ron. I shot at least 3-4 lbs of BH with a stock BP.

So, your fact doesn't hold true for me. I'd imagine Jon has shot 10 times that amount on a stock BP.

The reason I recommend guys get a BH BP is they don't always use the right primer, or keep the stock BP for complete reliability. They also might not have the head space where it belongs.
