JD, I really don't know quite how to take your reply. First of all, my wanting to put a full stock on my rifle is purely because I would like the look. In this case, I'm not worried about it being period correct. It's not a matter of what I can afford and it's my policy never to sell guns so I'm not worried about resale. The GPR is by no means a custom gun, but I don't consider it a cheap gun either.
I asked a simple question. If you had nothing more to offer than your opinions on how I should spend my money and what you consider a good investment, then you really shouldn't have replied.I guess some people just like to hear themselves type. :yakyak:

woodsman said:JD, once again you have managed to completely miss the point. You know nothing about me,my financial situation or what kind of firearm that I desire and what it might represent to me. Instead, armed with what little information as was contained in my original question, you took it upon yourself to sit in judgement and berate me for not following your particular path.
I don't think that this is a question of a silk purse or a sow's ear, but rather the ramblings of a horses ass.
Sincerely, Tony

The Lyman barrels are good accurate barrels. Why buy another? The Lyman locks work good. They pop caps. Why buy another? You can get a nice stock and fit the parts you already own, file off the stampings in the barrel(or not), re-finish to your taste, and have a rifle that you built the way you like for just a couple hundred $ and a bit of work. A kit will cost easily 2 or 3 times the amount.
And you could still go shootin' in the meanwhile.
This is, of course, only since he already has the parts rifle. :v
Go for it, will be good experience for you. May put a bug to build a complete rifle one day.
