Action and Safety Systems
Straight Pull Action
The pull-type system functions by pulling the hammer assembly back from the receiver
until it cocks� With both safeties off, the hammer under spring tension is released with a
pull of the trigger� The hammer slides through the receiver and strikes the primer� With
the rifle primed, using a 209 primer in the red Full Plastic Jackets, a spark moves forward
through the breech plug and ignites the powder charge� Because Knight Rifle’s ignition
system is in line with the barrel, hammer release, primer firing, and powder charge igni-
tion, it spontaneously gives a more uniformly burned charge with superior accuracy�

Patented Double Safety System
The trigger safety is located on the right side of the trigger� When the safety is pulled
to the rear, it is in the safe position� This locks the trigger so that the hammer will not
release� When the safety is pushed forward, it is in the fire position, and the hammer will
release if the trigger is pulled�
The secondary safety is located on the rear of the hammer or bolt� This safety is activated
by turning the secondary safety in a clockwise motion� The use and design of the sec-
ondary safety is to keep the rifle from firing by not permitting the hammer to strike the
igniter� When the safety is turned in a counterclockwise motion until it stops, it is in the
fire position� Both safeties must be in the fire position to fire the rifle�
