Knight Bighorn Questions

[bustedoldman]

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 muzzy same one my daughter shoots.
No not 209 that is percussion cap nipple
Yes shoots right and left handed

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’s what you want for musket caps.

[bustedoldman]

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.

That's all I use as well and never had an issue

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

[bustedoldman]

So the current nipple is a #10 or?

[usmc74]

current is a musket nipple

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