Knight Bighorn Questions
« on: November 07, 2018, 05:49:54 PM »
Had this Knight Bighorn .50 given to me....First muzzleloader ever in my hands! 2 questions: Are they ambidextrous, so I shoot left handed but use right hand bolt action rifles, similar or need to go correct left/right? Is this a 209 primer breach plug? (Forgive me if my terminology is wrong!)

Great rifle, I have 2, son has (had) 1

That is a musket cap nipple

Mine has killed 2 elk, son's has killed 2 deer.

They work great.

Can be converted to 209 if wanted (but not needed)

Here is the powder and caps that were with it. The reason I asked about 209 was I couldn’t get these caps in. Are they incorrect or am I not smart enough to figure it out lol?

Those are #11 caps. Only ones I use. Not worth switching to musket caps or 209s to me. Those are an excellent, hot shooting water proof cap.

All you need to do is change the nipple to a #11

I sent a PDF owners manual to the OP, thought I would post where I found it.  Covers most models 2011 and older.

@Sabotloader there was a thread about that very thing awhile back and I believe it has something to do with a nipple issue from the factory and on the bolt face take a look is it rounded or does it have a point?

Is the secondary safety off? (all the way unscrewed)


It is the small knurled knob at the back end of the firing pin.  It shows red when it is unscrewed
