For warranty and repair questions, please scroll down and read through out "WARRANTY AND REPAIR FAQs" section.
Round receivers (except for the Vision) will use Remington 541 style for the two piece and Weaver 45 for the one piece. NOTE: Two piece bases on plunger guns allow for easier capping and decapping ignition.
Plunger style guns use "PLUNGER STYLE" breech plugs. (Plunger style guns do not have a bolt handle.) Just choose the correct ignition.
CLICK HERE for breech plugs.
If you have a hex style breech plug, or "modern" breech plug, you can purchase a combo tool HERE. If you have an older style breech plug, with 2 or 4 slots instead of a hex head, you can simply use a long flat-head screwdriver to extract the breech plug.
To determine the correct conversion kit, simply measure the diameter of the breech plug.
• PLUNGER GUN: If you have a 5/8" diameter, you need the M900603 part. If your breech plug diameter is 11/16" you need M900604 part. This applies to all caliber plunger rifles.
CLICK HERE to watch the video explaining how to measure your breech plug.
Use Triple 7 in a plunger style gun or a Disc. Use Blackhorn in a Mountaineer, Ultra-Lite, or Peregrine. 90-100 grains by volume is a good baseline in all models.
The model number is stenciled on the right side of the barrel past the serial number. It will be letters or a combination of letters and numbers.
Ramrod, ramrod guide, quick release bolt retainer, & sights
All Knight Rifles come drilled and tapped for scope bases.
Yes. Except the Ultra-Lite guns have the option to be ordered without sights.
NOTE: If you select an Ultra-Lite gun without sights the barrel will NOT be drilled for sights.
First, check the secondary safety to make sure it is unscrewed to the firing position. This applies to both plunger and bolt handle rifles. CLICK HERE to watch the video showing you how to operate the secondary safety.
For bolt handle guns, ensure that your firing pin is not screwed in all the way. For a detailed explanation of how a bolt handle assembly works, CLICK HERE or HERE.
The two issues above are the most common reasons a Knight Rifles gun won't fire.
If you still have issues, ensure the breech plug flash hole is clear and check the condition of your powder and primer.
Yes, if your Disc Extreme stock has a double-lug pocket (or cantilever lug). It will NOT fit if it has a single-lug pocket. The trigger and Disc bolt will work but it will require a Mountaineer breech plug with the same ignition style as the Disc (ie. bare primer, RPJ, western). If you have an Original Disc (the model number will have periods between the letters: D.I.S.C.), you will have to convert from an orange disc to RPJH or bare primer ignition.

Due to the vast range of Knight Rifles, along with the age of certain models, and teamed with the fact that we are not the original owners of Knight Rifles, and thus, did not ourselves manufacture every model - we do not always have every necessary replacement part, especially on many of the more dated models.
We do have some repair and replacement items available HERE. While we are working on getting every part and piece we have onto our site, we do have a few miscellaneous replacement parts that are not currently available on our website. If you are looking for a part you do not see on our site, please reach out to customer service via email at sales@knightrifles.com and let us know what model you have, and what part(s) you are looking for. If we have them, we will be more than happy to let you know the price and put in an order for anything you may need.
