Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Muzzleloaders Knight LK 93?

I was in a LGS yesterday and they had 2 Knight LK93's on the shelf. One blue, one stainless. $150 or less.

I think I might need an additional muzzleloader. What is the good and bad on these?

I know I need to pull the breech plug and inspect before I buy, but they were busy and I didn't really have time to wait yesterday.

I plan on going back to take a better look later in the week.

Thanks

Not much,

I built 5-10 LK-93s up for a shooting program I assist with. Light and compact - can “sporty” with heavy bullets, but mine were 2-3 inches at 100 with 300 grain bullets and two 777 pellets.

Possible downside - they’re a plunger rifle, so whom ever is shooting needs to be able to pull the plunger back to cock it. Can be a problem for young shooters.

Check the hammer - it should a flat but slightly pointed dome with a distinct point on it. This is newer style hammer for 209 primers - the flat face is for percussion caps.

Breech plug should have the one piece nipple stem for the Red Plastic Jacket primers - not a traditional replaceable cap nipple.

If you find these are percussion fired - no problem using them “as is”, but add $60-$80 for a 209 conversion kit.
