Damn, maybe I'm just partial, but the kid has to at least touch, feel , and smell an Old 77/50, a Model 700, or a black diamond. Really wanta get bad ass? A Lyman Deerstalker stainless Walnut is the schitt. JMO... Only reason I never owned a Black Diamond was because I couldn't stand that metallic Ramrod. [/quote] If you're wanting to go old school, I can probably put a TC Renegade together. I know I've got .50 barrels, don't know about a .54.

+1 Knight is a great made gun period. They have a few to choose from dependent on what your looking for. Two safeties suck, but hey so does a safety and a hammer, or is that two safeties....LOL....I don't care if it shoots strait!

Whats so ugly about this? That one is an exception. Knight was supposed to be selling an updated version called the KPX, but it's still not on the website. Know anything?

I haven't head any thing. I guess the barrels come in 45/70 and a muzzle loader. I just got a 270 for mine. Now I have a 204, 270, and a front stuffer.

Traditional Inline?
You mean like the H&R break action that came out in the late 60s to early 70s?

Im familiar with the Knight KP1. The 45/70 makes a fairly good 45cal fast twist ML conversion too. The H&R reference was sarcasm because it was one of the first if not the first modern inline offered. Knights did not come out until about 1985 so the H&R would take the "traditional" production inline trophy. There were a one or two others made around 1969-1970 in very limited numbers.

The first models were a plug and oring. Later they changed to a threaded plug. IIRC they would even retrofit older models to a threaded plug. Of course there were earlier inlines. That is why i used the terms modern and production to clarify. Just like smokeless was the original BP substitute. It was invented roughly 100 years before Pyrodex.

They couldnt fire unlocked any more than any other break action, but as Overkill said the early breech plugs were unthreaded & held in place like a shotgun shell. There were rumors of blowouts when the gun was opened quickly on a hang fire or the operator got heavy handed capping the nipple and the charged ignited with resulting chaos. I dont know if any were ever substantiated or a case of "what if?". There are still many in use to this day.

My son and I got muzzy cow tags for wash this year. Gotta get him a rifle. I've been using my old stainless walnut TC Firehawk for like 13 years now. No breech plug. Anyway just wondering what the attraction is. Seems pretty tuff to beat an inline. Ahem. stainless/walnut
