RE: gun finished...
i got the touchhole liners at dicks sporting goods.....seen them at walmart also.....2 for like 4 bucks or something like that.....i dont know that they will fit a lyman......i dont know if all holes are created equal or what.....im new to muzzleloading.......but they were made by TC...a side by side comparison is crazy.....the old touch hole is basically a cut off screwhead to fit the hole....the new one has some technology and has a cone and will throw a better spark i bet.....the old hole kinda constricted it....the on has an outward cone and gets bigger as it goes in.....i cant wait to shoot it......i like the truoil finish but im considering redoing it....it has some spots if you get it in the right light it has a white look......not sure what its from....its only at certain angles in certain spots.....youd have to look at it for a while like i do to notice them........if i take it down any mroe ill be doing all the inleted brass spots as well....i dont really want to go that far...so im leaving it for a while......maybe ill buy a fancy stock next time.......something that takes my brass i have now.......well.....blackend brass actually lol......
