SOLD Knight Disc Elite .45 rough bore

[younghunter_86]

I bought at a gun show hoping for the best and it didn’t work as planned. Barrel shows pitting and blueing was removed in places by previous owner trying to eliminate rust.

Breachplug, fpj bolt, and stock are all good.

I was always going to lap the bore a bit and see how it would shoot… that was 10 years ago so likely never going to happen.

No idea where to price it so starting at $150 shipped. Figure stock and bolt are worth that.

If nothing else, maybe get a new barrel from knight? That would still make you a very nice gun…imo..

Thats exactly what i would do too. A UL barrel and breech plug from Lehigh and you have a sweet ML.

Im thinking the roughness is not bad enough to interfere with accuracy. Might be a dandy gun as is.

IME: The bore of that rifle will clean up nicely with some shallow to moderate pits. Remove the barrel and action from the stock. Plug the breech plug, stand the barrel breech down and fill the bore with Evapo Rust, being careful not to spill the stuff on the bluing.

After 24 hours pour out the Evapo Rrust and swab the bore with patches wet with tap water.

I agree. I would try that first then replace the barrel if needed. I bought a 1:20 disc once. It was suppose to be new. When I got it the bore was pitted and it was still dirty from last time it was shot . Not the first and not the last time I bought sonething that was less than I was told . But it cleaned up and shot good . I bedded it in a Boyds laminate stock and shot many a deer with it. Still have it. Anybody want to buy a 45 disc. Just as new as the day I bought it

I dont need it, but i will take it for $130 shipped.

 

[snapbang]

I think you have a fine gun for $130. grouse. About 2-3 more hours and I was going to own it.

 

[younghunter_86]

Works for me - SPF to Grouse

Yeah, I was needed for a mountaineer build. Hoping to find something cheap.
But I’m in no rush.
Trigger,bolt,stock

There's a little pitting in a Bighorn I bought used a couple years ago, and it is still quite accurate. Best conical thrower I've owned, with 9/16th three shot groups at 50yds. Open sights. I would try it as is, before modifying.

Nothing on a disc elite will help you.

Yes it will stock and trigger, bolt.

 

[Patrick McChristy]

Yes I’m looking for a 45 barrel also - any more rough ones out there need a new home or want to swap for a 50?
