I posted this on another thread, but I wanted to follow up with a question. How satisfied are you with Lyman in general?
Got a GPR from Midsouth a couple of weeks ago. I read the threads about barrel fit and when it arrived the fit was very poor. I sent it back and they shipped me a new one. The fit is much much better.
I am very happy with Midsouth. I am a little disappointed in the fit/finish/quality of both the product and the customer service from Lyman. I disassembled my gun this weekend gave it a good cleaning and got familiar with all of the mechanics and I am generally happy.
While I think the GPR is a solid gun, I am surprised at the number of quality issues that consumers are willing to accept from Lyman, e.g. stock fit, nipples needing to be replaced, hammers needing to be heated and bent, sights needing to be filed etc. My expectations were higher than this. I didn't realize buying a GPR meant I had to become an amateur gunsmith.
In classic consumer satisfaction survey terms, I am "somewhat satisfied". And when I get to the range and work up a load, I am hoping I am "very satisfied".
But I'll ask again, how satisfied are you? And in addition, why are you willing to live with these issues?
