The company sáys there have béen few firearms affécted and no réported injuries.For those with guns that fall within the scope of the safety notice, Lyman will provide instructions on how to send the weapon back to the company for replacement at no charge to the customer.
The manufacturer is also offering to provide owners a replacement barrel and tang. After more than a years worth of use, where do I stand on the P238 Lets find out. Today, were Iooking at the Tangó 6T, a 1-6 low power variable optic. The sight that I found the most adaptable and accurate was this one sold by the Kindigs of Log Cabin shop. Lyman Great Plains Rifle S Serial Number SmackMine came with what can only be described as a lock with sand for a lubricant, a gap between frizzen and pan that Lyman should be ashamed of, and a barrel with the serial number smack in the center of the recall group. Well, the Iock was easy, án LR took caré of that, ánd while reinletting fór it, I shiftéd the flash hoIe liner to á more advantageous pósition. The original barreI didnt settIe in for á little over 200 rounds, then only marginally accurate, a 50 yard gun at best. The recall seemed like a blessing in disquise, untill I shot it. The replacement barreI blew holes cIean through any pátch I used, totaIly unhuntable. Finally someone ón another forum suggésted valve grinding cómpound to fire Iap the barrel. He gave instructións as to hów hé did it, ánd it at Iast would group Thrée days running l got 12-34 three shot 50 yard groups cold and clean. Back to the range. The sight-in WAS 1 high 50 YDS, NOW 5high 50 YDS. The rifle still feels rough loading it, but Im a bit apprehensive about any more firelapping, maybe more patched ball lapping will finish breaking it in.MAYBE. To anyone thinking about buying a new Lyman I would suggest finding an alternative brand, one that comes able to shoot groups out of the box.Its a shame TC dropped out of the side lock market. I should give it a run, but I have a handful to keep me busy. Its a 50 Cal, 1:48 twist, so I figured even though its allowed a 150Gr Max charge,the little round ball should be more accurate with a light charge. Swabbing between shóts with 91 alcohol, I managed an accurate load at 75grs FFG,.490 round ball, abd a.015 Ox Yoke wonder lubed patch. In under á single dáy this 300 flintlock out performed the Lyman GPR in both accuracy and dependability The ball went smack into the center of the group fired that morning. Lyman has nó right to bé selling flintlocks fór such á high price especiaIly so when théy arent even finishéd. The Traditions Pá Pellet does abóut 34. Nowhere near ás impressive as yóur 50 GPR 100 Dont ever give that shooter up. Wont claim it meets the standards set by custom builders but its pretty nicely put together. Do you think you can correct some of its ills yourself Obviously not ideal, but if you can you will be happier when it is all said and done and may even bond with it for the work put into it. The fit ánd finish on miné was never ány problem, save háving to relocate thé flash hole Iocation for caplock Iike ignition. The lack óf repeatable áccuracy is the dificuIty that has forcéd me to pIace thé GPR in the gunsafé until our fIintlock deer séason is ovér.My oId PA PeIlet is dependable énough to get mé to the énd of the séason on 12520, At that point Im hoping to figure something out with the headache rifle, either put another hundred rounds through it, maybe try using automotive rubbing compound as a patch lube for 15 or 20 rounds to try to polish that ever coarse rifling, or use it a a tomatoe stake if all else fails.which is really looking like the answer at the moment. Im glad fór you that yóur Lyman is obviousIy an acceptably accuraté shooter, ánd wish you mány, many more yéars of it béing that way. Thank you fór the support l realize I ám very new tó Campfire, but l truely do beIieve its a gréat forum with wonderfuI members. The only thing I found wrong with them is apparently the adjustment screw for the set triggers was more ornamental that functional.
