Unpacking Your Knight KP1

Post by knightrifles » September 27th, 2018, 2:57 pm

Your Knight KP1 is delivered factory-packaged, preserved with a coating of protective oil, and placed in a corrosion resistant bag for shipping. Before loading and firing, make certain that all protective oil has been cleaned from the bore, breech plug (muzzleloaders only), nipple, and exposed firing mechanisms. Your KP1 has been tested, inspected, and properly packaged at the factory. Knight Rifles cannot control product handling after shipment. Please examine this rifle carefully at the time of purchase to ensure that it is unloaded and undamaged. Your dealer will be pleased to assist you in making this examination and will answer any additional questions you may have.

Getting to Know Your New Knight KP1

Before loading and firing your new Knight KP1, it is important that you get to know your new rifle. Read this manual to learn about the features, limitations, and capabilities of your KP1. It is important that you select appropriate priming devices, amount and kind of propellant, and projectiles for your model. The Knight KP1 uses 209 shotshell primers with the Full Plastic Jacket Ignition System Concept™ (DISC), which completely weatherproofs the receiver area. Compared to percussion caps, the hotter shotshell primer ignition puts more fire into the breech end ensuring spontaneous ignition, faster lock time, consistent velocity, and a hotter burn of the powder charge for a cleaner breech area. This contributes to better accuracy.

The Knight KP1 uses Black Powder FFg or industry approved black powder substitute. Some models can also use pelletized powder. NEVER use smokeless powder. It can cause your muzzleloader to explode.

There are many black powder substitutes available. Read and follow all instructions and warnings provided by the manufacturer of the propellant you
choose.

The Kinght KP1 can use a variety of .50 caliber projectiles. See page 15 for more information about muzzleloading loads.

Knight Rifles does not recommend the use of non-saboted lead projectiles. These bullets can easily be moved from the powder charge. This will result in an obstructed barrel, and, upon firing, could cause an explosion. If you choose or legally have to shoot non-saboted lead projectiles, always check that your projectile is properly seated immediately before priming and firing.

Centerfire and Rimfire

These rifles can take a wide variety of cartridge loads. Consult your local gunsmith or firearms expert for recommendations on what loads to use with these rifles. Use their advice and find a cartridge that works well for you and the type of shooting you are doing.
