Italian made Knight?
« on: December 29, 2010, 04:52:55 PM »
 A friend just showed his old Knight inline, was surprised to see that it was made in Italy.  It's an almost identical twin to my Wolverine, any idea what, when, where?  I'd always thought Knight rifles were all US made, reckon thats what I get fer thinkin'

That would be the Knight T5 Woodsman, Made In Italy. It was the entry level Knight, before the American Knight (USAK). They were not made there long, as I think very few sold when people found out they were not American Made. Not sure the exact year but it must have been in the early to mid 90's. Not much information on them.
