I find it very strange that when Knight sends out a problem rifle all I see is praise for them. Don't worry, they will fix it, etc. Same with a problem TC rifle that someone has trouble with, nothing but don't worry, they will take care of it.
But with all you experts, when it is a CVA rifle all I see is, they are a piece of junk, be careful it may blow up, I would not buy it in the first place. Remember CVA has junk barrels, etc.
All rifle have problems and you characters need to stop bashing the rifles that people buy other than what you want them to buy. Not everyone can afford to pay out extra $ just for a name.

I talked to Gordy with Knight rifles late this afternoon, he was baffled on what would cause this because of the process that the rifles go through before they ship them out. He is going to overnight me a breechplug and bolt asssmbly so that I will have them before the weekend so this should take of the problem.

But, thinking about what Tom indicated in his last note... If you have try time try an experiment for me - probably will not fix the problem, but it will eliminate what might be a problem that i think Tom was working to...
Remove the bolt and the breech plug, clean the threads of the plug and the threads in the barrel. Re-install the plug with no grease or tape. Physically tighten the plug tight in the bore. Don break it but get it tight. Then back it off and retighten it 2 more times. After tightening it the third time install the bolt and see if it will close on a primer.
It MIGHT be possible that some of the bore treatment got trapped and hardened on the BP shelf in the bore not allowing the BP to tightened against the shelf. The procedure above might loosen and remove it.
