I have an opportunity to get a 1990's Lyman GPR described as 99% and with a shiny bore. And I *know* the seller via another forum so I'm sure he's on the up and up.
The price is today's pricing. Actually, he said it was lower than he paid last year at a ML shop for it.
He knew I had been looking for one, but in the meantime TOTW had those $500 trade guns and I'm pretty happy with that purchase.
I've used the search feature and it seems these are a good purchase. Closer to a Hawken than a TC Hawken, which I have but am having trouble tightening my group. Probably a sight thing, as I put a buckhorn on it.
So I'm thinking of moving into the GPR and selling the Hawken locally.
Of course the percussion won't work for late ML season here in PA, but I have other rifles for that.
For someone like myself, who is not opposed to a commercially produced ML, is the GPR a "must have"? Maybe simply because it has a roundball twist? And isn't made anymore?
