ORIGINAL: boysda hey, i'm nothing if not flexible. i'll look at lyman and TC. what justifies the price differential between them and traditions?
This is an excellent and fair question. IMO, the locks of the Lyman and TC's have always been more reliable sparkers than the Traditions have over the years. The reason was that the Traditions' frizzens weren't hard enough. Now, this may no longer be the case, since they have certainly had time enough and feedback enough to have corrected this problem.
