Thanks Guys. I can buy a new Lyman GPR @ true net net dist. cost. That is cheaper than a nice used TC or Lyman!I did look @ one @ Gander closely compared to a few other name brandsand it did have the best pan to frizzen fit. I asume that fit prevents moisture and holds the powder better. The way it snaped down was very clean too. After reading here I paid close attention to the flash hole and the finish work on all those parts. There were no TC Hawkens to compare to but all the others were not as nice as the Lyman. The only detraction was the wood selection.
Thanks, SHills
