I have a Percussion GPR that is 3 years old that I have only shot a few times. This gun is functional and shoots OK . It probably isn't broken in yet and seems to do a little better every outing . So either I am getting better or the barrel is wearing in as it should.
Well I have the urge to get a Lyman GPR flint kit and build one. I would like to be reasonably assured that I was going to get a good/reliable hunting rifle . Have any of you guys built a GPR Flint gun recently and what were your thoughts. I have read a few threads that suggest some of the guns sold don't have the flash hole properly located and the frizzen pan my not be tight against the barrel. Is this a Lyman problem or a builder problem.
