So, just in case anyone is curious, I have confirmed (through a source) that the Knight's Armament Rifle seen in many productions filmed in British Columbia is a mock-up built on a Ruger Super Redhawk (which, of course, is the same method used to create the production gun). I can also confirm that this rifle was built for the movie ''[[Another Stakeout]]'' in 1993 after the director requested it, but the armorers were unable to provide it. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] ([[User talk:MT2008|talk]]) 11:46, 2 February 2015 (EST) | So, just in case anyone is curious, I have confirmed (through a source) that the Knight's Armament Rifle seen in many productions filmed in British Columbia is a mock-up built on a Ruger Super Redhawk (which, of course, is the same method used to create the production gun).

Behind the scenes info
So, just in case anyone is curious, I have confirmed (through a source) that the Knight's Armament Rifle seen in many productions filmed in British Columbia is a mock-up built on a Ruger Super Redhawk (which, of course, is the same method used to create the production gun). I can also confirm that this rifle was built for the movie Another Stakeout in 1993 after the director requested it, but the armorers were unable to provide it. -MT2008 (talk) 11:46, 2 February 2015 (EST)
Manufacturer
Is this made by KAC? - bozitojugg3rn4ut 02:36, 4 April 2012 (CDT)
- Yeah, I saw that page too, just was not sure it is credible. The page title needs to be changed then. - bozitojugg3rn4ut 05:05, 4 April 2012 (CDT)
- Author points out to the September 1992 issue of Soldier of Fortune magazine as the source of information, makes it verifiable at least. --Masterius 05:19, 4 April 2012 (CDT)
Just came across this forum thread while trying to confirm this and it has a post (3rd from the bottom) by C Reed Knight who is the founder of KAC who states "Some movie company made a copy for use on those shows. We had nothing to do with it. We were curious when we saw it on TV too". This confirms that it was made by KAC, and that the one that has cropped up in a number of tv shows and movies is a mock up. --commando552 06:49, 4 April 2012 (CDT)
- But the picture on the page is the correct version, right? And what is the correct name: Revolver Rifle? Revolving Rifle? --bozitojugg3rn4ut 07:06, 4 April 2012 (CDT)
- Revolver Rifle. --Masterius 07:19, 4 April 2012 (CDT)
- Yes the pic on the main page is the correct real life gun, and I think it is "Revolver Rifle". I made it from the pic Masterius linked to by whiting out the background and filling in the bits of the stock that were missing (covered by tufts of grass I would guess). --commando552 08:53, 4 April 2012 (CDT)
- Revolver Rifle. --Masterius 07:19, 4 April 2012 (CDT)
Cartridge?
I can't seem to find what actual cartridge this gun is chambered in. Jeddostotle7 8:27, 29 May 2012 (PST)
- It is a proprietary round. It is a .44 case with an aluminium piston inside, with a 145 grain .30 calibre bullet inside the piston.
