Lyman Great Plains
Been wanting a Lyman Great Plains for awhile so I finally broke down and ordered a 54 flintlock kit . it came in looked well inletted etc ,got all the wood contoured and sanded ready to stain . Decided to completely assemble it first to make double sure of the fit had'nt had the barrel out of the wrapper yet so took it out was gonna clean up the extra lube on it so as not to get stains on wood and to my surprise there were no lugs welded to bottom of the barrel for the wedges to go thru .will have to wait till Monday to call Lyman when I found it and tried to call today they were already closed by about 10 minutes.Hopefully they can ship me another barrel hate having something I cant shoot.
