Pros: Reasonable price, very good quality, shoots well (better than I do....)
Cons: Bluing instead of the traditional browning

Good quality walnut, fit and finish very good, lines are very nice, and it shoots very accurately as long as I do my part. Only negatives are the bluing instead of the tradtional browning and the double-set trigger has some creep. Excellent value for the money.

Pros: well made prod. gun, fit and finsh good
Cons: needs a small bit of work to be agood shooter, thats ok

triger creep, replace set screw with 5.5x8mm screw( from ace hard stores) rear sights get a rear sight from Traditions, for there pistol .360 dovetail, CLEAN the new gun as factory states before using. Touch hole liner drill out to 5/64 ths, helps fire it off everytime, 60 grns 3f, .15 patch .490 ball. Brake it in and it will make small groups! I have a flint and caplock set up like this and the will out shoot me.

Pros: First shots were very accurate out of the box.
Cons: Wood stock and furniture fit and finish was bad.

When my GPR came in I was a little disappointed. Had a few things that upset me. The finish on the wood stock was horrible. It was too dark and completely covered (obscured) the woodgrain. Had to lighten the stain. once that was done it looked great. The butt stock plate fit was not fitted properly. Not much I can doabout that.

Bottom line, if I wanted to build a gun I would havebought a kit. I thought I would have gotten a better product from InvestArms!!!
