Put her on layaway today. A percussion 50 caliber with a ball barrel. $165! Virtually new condition with a perfect bore. The crown is another story and a continuing drama with octagonal barrels. I' ve had 3 TC's and this Lyman with lopsided crowns. Very frustrating and I hope this one can be fixed without much fuss.
She's a handsome girl with some nice grain in the stock. The set triggers are very good and the unset pull is very nice as well. Love the balance and carry with the long barrel. The rear sight is positioned well enough that I can use it as is.
Is it just my bad luck, or have others had lopsided crowns? By this I mean one side of the crown is noticeably deeper than the other.
I love my inlines. But there are times when I want to take a long stick for a walk...
