The History of Knight

Not to be confused with the Knight’s Armament company or (KAC), the story of Knight America’s Muzzleloader began in 1985 when Tony Knight, a well renowned gunsmith at the time, opened his first shop in Putnam County, Missouri. Initially, he built the guns by hand, so every piece that came out of his workshop was customized and personalized for the end users. Over the years, the demand for his rifles increased significantly, leading to the opening of the first factory in 1987 and soon later they expanded production by opening another factory located in Iowa.

Over the years, Knight has introduced numerous models such as the LK 93, T-Bolt, the MK line, the Mountaineer etc. The company has also won the National Muzzleloading Rifle Associations “Manufacturers Accuracy Competition” 6 years in a row. Their muzzleloaders were and still are known to be one of the most accurate on the market.

In 1991, Dale and Bruce Watley bought the company, which was later acquired by Pradco in 1999. After a decline in sales, Knight Rifles ceased production in 2009, but was purchased by Plastic Industries in 2011 and is now based in Athens, Tennessee. They still offer various muzzleloader models and other equipment on their website.

Knight LK93 Muzzleloader Review

The Knight LK93 is a muzzleloader manufactured by Knight company. It comes with a removable stainless steel breech plug and is equipped with the Knight ACCU-LITE trigger system, allowing for weight of pull adjustments. Some models provide options for sear engagement and over-travel adjustments as well. It comes pre-set at the pull weight of approximately 1588 g (3.5 lbs).

The safety mechanism of the LK93 comes in the form of a lever on the right upper side of the receiver. In the rear position, the safety mechanism blocks the trigger and locks the hammer. The front position of the safety makes the weapon ready to fire and shows an indicator above a red dot on the rifle stock.

The ramrod is located below the barrel. For mounting purposes, the top side of the receiver has five drilled and tapped holes. The ignition system is in-line, and the muzzleloader features a removable one-piece hammer assembly. It comes with a front ramp and bead along with an adjustable rear hunting sight.
