    Damaged GPR barrel

    Thank you everyone for your responses; everything was helpful. I now believe the issue was using WD 40. I was able to clean out the barrel, and it is smooth and shiny all the way to the breach. I will never use WD 40 on my guns again.

    Broke Off Barrel Lugg On GPR Rifle

    I just bought a replacement barrel, from Lyman, for my GPR. I have the same problem, both lugs are bent in towards the barrel and block the wedge pins.

    Cap popped, rifle didn't fire, until later

    I'm very grateful to read this and learn a hang-fire can shoot 5 minutes later. This is a very important safety tip. I wish there was a SAFETY forum, where everyone could post stuff like this. We can all learn and be safer.
