disc extreme wont pop a cap. (brand new gun)

[BULLBLASTER]

The gunsmith called me. He was very eager to help me out and get it fixed up. Asked me to send the breech plug and nipple amd bolt to them amd he would adjust the bolt to allow the firing pin to extend farther. He also said he would send me some bullets to make up for the time lost as well as shipping the parts back to them.
So far great customer service! Gonna drop the parts in the mail tomorrow.
Ill update after i get them back!

I am surprised the owner's manual that came with the gun doesn't have instructions on how to disassemble, clean, and adjust the bolt?  Why does a gunsmith have to do it?  I take my bolt completely apart & clean it after every use.  Then it needs to be adjusted correctly or the gun won't fire.  Are the Disc Extremes more complicated?

dang if it goes any farther you'll start going completely through the caps

Cool!  Sounds like knight customer service is improving.

We will see if it is fixed up and how fast.

It has nothing to do with the nipple and don't back out the breech plug. Knight had a bunch of bolts that were machined out of spec.
Call Knight and get Gordy Edwards number and he will send you a new bolt body. We had about 9 rifles we sold that had this problem, Imagine how pissed off a guy is when buys his rifle a week before the season(shame on him) and it won't fire!!
Sorry this post is late but there is not a lot going on right now.

Update... talked to the smith at knight past week. He had to find my parts them he callede back and said theyre fixed and in the mail. Is 3 weeks a long time to wait for a repair that took 20 minutes after he "found" my parts? Meanwhile i have a $500 dollar stainless steel and camo boat anchor in my safe...

That's actually pretty quick for Knight. Only took me a little over 2 months to get my issues squared away. And that was because the nice lady that answered the phone for the umpteenth time said "to heck with it. At this point I'm going to have a new barrel sent to you. I'll deal with it if they don't like it"

If it does not work this time - let's talk...  If they did not take the whole rifle it still might not be right because of manufacturing tolerances that are allowed with-in the contract.  The tolerances allowed by the contracts do not cause a problem with 209 primers - but with the tight tolerance Knight wants with percussions caps it does cause a problem especially when the musket nipple and the #11 nipple are different lengths.

Which cap are you wanting to use?

[BULLBLASTER]

I got the parts back, took it out back and popped a few caps. Even the ones that just dented last time and didnt pop went off this time. Seems all is well! Ill he hitting the range this weekend!
Using top hat musket caps.
