Knight Ultralite not firing musket cap " UPDATE "

[zwickeyman]

I have a new stock Knight Ultralite. Using Musket caps and they rarely fire the first time, even if I force them on all the way with a stick or pen. Never had this issue with other Muzzys. Any advice from you Muzzy guys

Thanks

Last year I bought a brand new mountaineer, I had the same issue except I was using the 209s in the red plastic jackets. Sabotloader really helped me out, we tried troubleshooting everything we could think of and it turned out to be a faulty bolt. Knight replaced it for free. I've had zero issues since then, but it was frustrating for a brand new muzzy.

Silly question, but is the safety thats on the bolt screwed all the way "out"? '

Screw the breach plug back towards the bolt until it is nearly touching when the bolt is closed.
Try popping a cap.

Try it with just a cap.

Sabotloader helped me out too.
Great guy.

Is the bolt adjusted correctly?

Every company goes through a quality issue at some point.  Luckily, Knight is known for excellent customer service.  I'd give them a call and see if they can help you out.

Hope you get it figured out quickly and it doesn’t affect a hunt this year.   


It is ironic that all the knight lovers (not hating on them and I will likely buy one this year to try out), are quick to trash CVA, traditions ect. Due to QC problems and this is an all to common problem with knight.   Literally hundreds of post on knights not having ignition problems….just google it.  Appears to be a coin flip if you get a good one or not.

Same could be said for Savage, or almost any other brand. Everybody has their preference, qc issues are always a bummer but the real test is in the customer service

That is my point….ie why I’m still going to buy a knight to try out.  Just kills me that there are a couple post from earlier this year that trash other brands when this is a very common problem.  Hope it is an easy fox for the op.

Not to hijack a thread but why use a musket cap instead of a 209 primer?

Pretty sure the OP is in Idaho.  Not sure they can use the 209 ignition system.
