    INVEST ARMS

    Investarms is the maker of Lyman rifles. If it is a Cabelas model it goes for around $350 new. $100 is a great price. Like others have said if you pass it up let me know where it is. I will take it. Frank

    nipple wear

    I have had nipples peen over but you should get way more than 5 shots. Probably more like 3 or 4 hundred before peening. Are you dry firing?

    hammer to nipple alignment

    I have the same exact problem with mine. It's a Cabelas Hawken made by Investarms, maker of Lyman. It fires without a problem but I wanted to change over to a musket nipple and no go. The hammer was way off and wouldnt strike the cap. I dont know if I should bother contacting Cabelas or just...
