well, my boss , my buddy and I all got the KP1 in 45-70 at the same time and so far we've had no ftf. However my boss and I have had problems getting the breach open after letting the hammer down without firing the rifle. Called knight and will be sending them back for repair. Also some light freckling on the stainless but I will be keeping the KP1. I like the feel and heft of the gun and it is very accurate. My buddy has not had any problems with his at all. I believe I read on here that knight has addressed the ftf issue but I don't know for sure. All in all I like the gun.
