What you are seeing is a know problem with some DISC's and musket caps. What I would suggest you do is contact Knight - tell them your problem with musket caps and request they send you a Off-set musket nipple.
The reason that you are not getting ignition because the edges of the cap are not being driven into the edge of nipple to cause ignition. With the off-set nipple you will get contact with the edge of the nipple and ignition.

your the man sabotloader! ill be calling them first thing in the morning. kind of frustrating when a $500 brand new gun makes a better boat anchor than anything else since it wont shoot...
ya, I know what you mean - Knight discovered the problem shortly after they shipped - I think the new ones come with the off-set. I did a lot of shooting with the new Western Edition of the Ultra Lite - but I do not use musket caps so I never encountered you problem myself.
Another thing you could do till you get the off-set is purchase a pack of #11 Mags or RWS1075+ caps and use the #11 nipple

peen the edge of that sucker with a flat punch, make a little shelf for it to strike.
No offense. You obviously know this stuff better than I do, but no way I'd be doing that on a brand new rifle. Contact the manufacturer.

Ill update after i get them back!

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? :dunno:

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... :o
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"

The boss (fiance) called and told me i have a packqge at the house today... i hate working out of town and away from home... Only thing im expecting is the knight stuff! Hope it wprks this time. Gonna try amd hit the range this weekend.
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?

Using top hat musket caps.

shot it 2 times today. just to check operation... the range was too busy to do any meaningful shooting to sight in or see what works best. at least it works tho
And at this point that is the most important thing... I really wanted to shoot over here today but we have Seattle weather... waiting for a better day.
