Discless Knight Elite

Larry Hand (Woodgoat) has been at it again - converted a Knight Disc Elite that used the "full plastic jackets" to a #11 ignition. Shown installed with bolt open:



Seems to work very well:



This could make the Disc Elite/Extreme (and that use the same/similar bolt legal in some areas where 209 ignition is not allowed. Lack of sites on the Elite could still be an issue without further creativity.

Conversion is reversible by reinstalling a standard Knight breech plug and the original striker. No modification is done to the bolt housing. The striker for this mod is only about .1" longer than the factory original and takes advantage of the existing free space around the current striker where it comes through the bolt housing. Reinstalling the original striker could be difficult without the proper tools as the spring must be fully depressed (not so easily done for many) to remove/install the striker.

Most any 1/4 x 28 threaded nipple can be used to replace the one that is installed as there is some tolerance given the striker's travel.

Larry has indicated he can do this mod for others if they send him their bolt and a breech plug (a clean used plug would work fine) and some money of course. Anyone wants his contact info, PM me.

Pretty cool!

Okay then, how about this?
