Mis-fire ?

oybor · October 16, 2006, 07:45 PM

A couple of years ago I purchased a knight Revolution, and have been having a reoccuring problem of the gun not fireing, This year we had an early doe season so I used the "Revolution" and sure enough on my first opportunity I get a "Click" well the doe waited while I reset the primer and I made a good shot! This happens quite often, I have been trying different primers ( and it does not make any difference) I wrote a letter to Knight but no responce. When the gun mis=fires I check the primer and it appears to have been struck, Am I doing anything wrong? I am fairly new to the Blackpowder sport. Any Ideas, Thanks Oybor.
