[QUOTE="wildcat westerner, post: 2916455, member: 21361"] Oh MY, Knight never mentioned anything to me about the conversion you have. They did ,Nonspecifically, mention other after market manufacturers. As I learn more about Knight I realize the basic design was an advancement in muzzleloading. That said, when looking at them from an investment standpoint, they have been restructured three different times.! Kind of reminds me of the Sharps company. The largest supplier of armaments in the U.S. during the Civil War, anything that passed inspection was purchased by Uncle Sam during that period and attempts to copy the design by the Rebels resulted in explosions when firing. With that kind of finances they managed to adopt the basic design to cartridge rifles and ONLY because they could use such large powerful BP cartridges did they become imperative in destroying the buffalo on the plains and thus the Native Americans' hold on the vast prairies. They folded up due to lack of advancement and also ego. They Sharps company refused to accept any other advice as to making the rifle better, even though several gunsmiths in the west sent them modified Sharps that were better than the original design. Thank YOU Shane [/QUOTE]
