777 is a pain to clean in any gun.  Find some 3F GOEX.


 :D :D :D yeah good one!

I shoot flintlock and goex isnt a powder that cleans out with 2 patches.

777 is way better than pyrodex.. which is what i used to use a bunch. about the encore shooting 1inch off hand at 125 yards that was only a 2 shot group i am going to see if i can repeat that result tomorrow and i was looking into goex but got side tracked into triple 7 and thats what i am sticking to

i shoot triple seven out of my wolverine and i think its very hard to clean. i take my encore barrel off seal off what i don't want went with duct tape and stick the muzzle in a bucket and the water hose fits right in run hot water through it and then take it run 2 patches through and oil it... put it back after cleaning the receiver if its dirty with gun oil and i am done. knight quality is up there with t/c and Remington, browning, etc. also if the knight krb was offerd in blued and walnut it would be a very nice gun

I think there is a blue and walnut version although I do not know if it is really available yet.

If you can live with the fact that the Knight Rolling Block is absolutely hideous, I'm sure it will serve you well.  People like the T/C Encore and it's hideous so the new Knight may become popular.  The Wolverine is about as easy to clean as a muzzleloader can be.

Each to his own I suppose.

I guess I just like hideous. It looks a lot like my Remington Roller in 40-65 that a friend made for me and I think it is beautiful.

I can clean my flintlock using 3 patches and some windshield washer fluid or Windex.

Me too but I think I like the KRB even more. Time will tell but the initial evaluation of the KRB is great.
