Was wondering if anyone knows what is going on with knight muzzleloader company? I went to their website yesterday and read that they aren't making guns anymore. Did they sell out or are just quitting? thanks

They made some great rifles.
They made some bad business decisions the past 3 or 4 years. They put out some rifles that were marketing flops, including their .52 rifle.
I'm still trying to figure out why they made a .52, and it didn't sell well.
Also lots of people, including me, disliked the little plastic primer jackets, and did not buy a Knight because of that.
Good rifles, bad businessmen. Gone.
as mentioned the little plastic "disc's" only available from knight to hold the primers where as ingenious as to the muzzle loading world as Beta was to the movie world, Like beta the "disc" system failed to capture the market
With comparable muzzle loaders available for hundred less it was only a matter of time before knight went the same way as Austin & Halleck
who made some gorgeous guns for a little while anyway
