On impulse today, I bought my first muzzleloader. I have been eyeballing them for a number of years, but never did see one used that was in good enough shape to motivate me. I always feared rust down the hole that I could not see.
Anyway, it is a Knight lk 93 and I paid $100 even. It is in good shape, but there were no accessories, so I need to find the wrench.
Where does a guy start? I know I'll need conicals and probably RS, and #11 caps, but what conicals. I'm in Idaho, and this thing is legal here so I went for it.
I would start with Knight customer service at 866 518-4181. I see Knight parts on Gunbroker. Are you looking for a "C" tool? I don't know much about the 93. The guys at modernmuzzleloader.com would fix you right up, with info.
Thanks sourdough44. I got in touch with the guy that use to own this thing, and he said he had the wrench and some other stuff that I could have.
Knight is out of business, so it probably would do no good to call them. I was hoping someone here would be able to give me a tip as to which bullet to use, powder charge, and maybe where to pick up a few accessories at a good price.
I've always loved Knight muzzleloaders.....
WOW...
My first inline quite some years ago was a BK93.
Great rifle. Brings back memories.
The previous owner brought me the wrench and a couple of tubes of Knight thread grease. The load he was using is not legal here, so I am back to trying to decide what bullet to try. He did say it was an accurate rifle.
The local deer season for muzzleloaders is in Dec., so I have a little time yet. The house remodel is going to keep me out of the regular season.
I am toying with the idea of a peep. I have them on a couple of other rifles. So much to do/decide and so little time.
I have two of the LK93's in 50 Caliber. I would highly recommend the converstion to a 209 Shotgun primer.
My 50's love the Knight High Velocity Black Sabot and the Hornady 300g XTP with 90-100g of Powder. Deer do not stop this set up.
Throw the #11 caps away, they will cost you a nice buck.
keith, the 209's are not legal here. Nor are sabots. It is what it is and will probably stay that way. I do not know if musket caps would be an improvement or not. They are legal here.

Knight is not out of business.
they are until they start producing rifles that are listed and selling IMO
