While I'm definitely gonna miss Knight, I have to agree with mykeal as to why they are no longer with us.
Over the last several years they have pushed the technology envelope to places it really didn't need to go and that kept their prices too high to be really marketable.

To the older "Geeks" here, you might say Knight made themselves into the Sony Betamax............too exclusive and too expensive to survive in the marketplace.

But for the next 20 or so years, I'll keep shooting my USAK with #11 caps until it wears itself into a smoothbore.
