I just e-mailed Knight Customer Service today on this subject; will post info. when I get answer.  I've read on another forum that you can order from Knight & install; we will see!

I am not sure myself. You should have a email back from them sometime next week.

 I had to get a new barrel for a fire damaged Knight. The new barrel came with the 'quick release'. It seems to be a bigger hole than the threads the retention screw is in. I think it would have to be re-threaded. I do like the quick release but I guess I'll stick with the allen screw on my other Knight if it takes shipping & $35. I do agree Knight CS is great.
