I know the rifle is less expensive version of the MK... but it was still built under the supervision of Tony Knight, so I am thinking the less expensive items on the gun are the sights - trigger guard - stock while the barreled receiver remains manufactured to T Knight specifications.

Questions...
1. The barrel is not a Green Mountain barrel. and from what I can find it must be a Numrich barrel. It does have a large "N" stamped on the underside of the receiver.
2. Are the receiver and the barrel 1 piece or is the barrel screwed into to the MK style receiver as the early MK's were?
I have it on the work bench now getting it ready to shoot for the first time... I have treated the bore with Bore Tek, Changed out the plastic front sights and added a Williams FP peep sight.
Naturally! Williams does not produce the flat top 'Knight' peep base - FP any longer so I have a Legend on it temporarily or maybe permanently... I will have to drill and tap the reciever if I go this way. Not a big problem at all. BUT, I may have a line on a real 'Knight' model FP. I checked all of the online spots that I normally go on.

Atter I get this all done I might even swap out stocks for a thumbhole composite...
The plan is to get this rifle worked up for my hunting partners grandson... it will make an excellent starter for him.
O - thanks Sqezer!

My buddy has one in 54 cal ugliest wood stock ever but from I've gathered it's the same as the mks and the wolverine ect.they were very cheap when they came out and I've heard they are green mountain barrels
I have done some tracking and now believe they are Numrich barrels - which would help explain the difference in price.

True but they did also use Wiseman barrels during the same time period I think the 92 came out around 1990 does yours have the black knight stamp on the side?
Wiseman barrels were used on a lot of the older MK 85's before Knight turned to Green Mountain. You know I can not remember I will have to check tomorrow. If you look at the underside of the barrel you will find a 'N' stamped into the metal.
The last time I looked Numrich still had some old blued barrels in stock.
The rifle does have the 'Black Knight' stamped into the receiver...
