I ordered one of these in .54 flintlock for the season here in PA. It arrived today, and I was not impressed. The front sight is bent due to shipping more than likely. But, the wood and metal fit is terrible. The wood is proud of the tang, lock bolt, wedge key escutcheons etc. Not just a little bit either, an 1/8 inch or more. It looks like a beaver chewed on the area around the entry ramrod pipe. This thing is going back. I have another GPR, a .50 flint, that i bought probably 20 years ago that is very nice. I guess if I want one that's put together properly I'll have to get a kit and do it myself. Seems Lyman needs to get it together. Anyone else noticing a lack of workmanship with the current models?
