I have a Lyman GPR I picked up years ago off gunbroker, and it's a sad looking gun. It's a kit someone "finished", sort of. The barrel and iron parts are finished in cold blue and the stock looked like he simply dumped tru-oil on it. Worst of all, he managed to bend/break two of the wedge escutcheons (while also managing to lose some of the attachment screw, which he replaced with brass cabinet screws...Phillips head ones, no less).
I could fabricate replacements but it'd be a pain in the neck to do, and I'm not sure how they'd come out. I could make them from brass or iron, as I have both, but the easiest way would be to buy factory replacements.
Does anyone have a source for these plates besides Lyman? I can't stomach paying $4 for something this small.
