A friend has one of these that he wants to sell. That's all I know about it. I have had the disc extreme model in the past. This is a disc model and is there a way to shoot it non disc and use BH209? How do the 45 caliber rifles shoot?


Thanks for any replies

The early Knight Disc .45s had faster 1:20" twist rifling and make great heavy conical shooters (anything prior to #2291 on blued steel and #5043 on stainless were 1:20 twist) Later guns were 1:30" twist and more suited to sabots. The 1:20" twist .45 Knights are highly sought after. However, all that being said, I don't think the original Disc rifles, as opposed to the Disc Extremes, came with laminated stocks (could be wrong here but never seen one). If it's a Disc or Disc extreme, it can be converted to shoot bare 209s for BH209.

Thanks for the reply. I have not laid eyes on it yet hopefully Sunday I will take a look at it .

If it's an original Disc that uses the flat orange primer holders, you will first have to get a Disc Extreme conversion and add a bare 209 primer conversion kit. If it's a Disc Extreme that uses the red cylindrical primer holders, the bare 209 conversion is all that's needed. Knight still sells both or you can sometimes find them cheaper on the auction sites.

It's a laminated straight comb stock with checkering panels. It has a fluted barrel. Barrel is marked Disc Extreme.

It's a Knight Disc Extreme. The 45s have a 1/30 twist. They are nice rifles and can be shot without the disc by using a bare primer conversion. I think they cost about $40 from Knight.

BH 209 works well with this set up. It's worth about $250 - $300 in good condition in my opinion. It may be a Master Hunter with the fluted barrel. If so, it will have MH stamped on the bolt side of the barrel. If it's a MH the value goes up a $100 or so.

The serial number is S00703X

It's not a Master Hunter, unless stamped on the barrel.

Here's a link to Knight's breechplug conversion page.

I just picked it up , very nice rifle that has been lightly used, Going to get the conversion kit . Thanks for the help guys

Gotcha' a good one. Congrats on a smart purchase.

Try the Harvester Smooth Blue sabots ( not crushed rib ) and Hornady SST or XTP 200 grain bullets.

I like 90 - 100 grains of BH 209 or T7. For best accuracy. Some guys will push it higher but I see no reason to do so.

Thank You, going to get the conversion breech plug and give it a good cleanup. Into it for 250 right now.

Thanks for the tip

I just paid $199 for a brand new Knight Vision break-action, thanks to Dutch, who spotted the closeout at Knight's website in December.

We are both smart shoppers, for a little-used Disc Extreme, was when Knight was at the top of their manufacturing game, prior to the sale of their company.

Some MLs become forever treasures. There are a few ML models from the former White Rifles, that are in the same league.

My Knight won't classify as such in years ahead. But I couldn't pass up a new $350 Knight ML for under $2bills. I've owned the new ML for a month now and haven't been able to shoot it yet. The weather in Michigan is not cooperating. I need a few hours of bare hands weather at the range. My minimum for that are temps in the high 40s.

Nothing in the 40s is in-sight for Michigan yet.
