    My GPR build

    we were beginning to wonder if it was in the cards for us to have two. my wife had 3 miscarriages this past year. That's one of the reasons that the rifle has taken a backseat but we are good to go now.

    My GPR build

    First coat of truoil went on last night. Once the stock is done then I'll start in on the LMF browning. Baby number 2 will finally be here in about 5 weeks so we will see how much progress I can make before then.

    Loosing my mind

    I have been sitting here reading this forum for the last hour or so and then all of a sudden started smelling burnt black powder in my office. Thought I had just been sitting at the computer to long wanting to shoot. Turns out the town is smoke testing the sewer system and one of our drains let...

    My GPR build

    One of these days I'll get this thing done. Just wanted to drop in and say I haven't just forgotten. Life has thrown a few curves to us this year and building my GPR has been bumped down a few notches. Things are getting back to normal so maybe in the next month or two I'll get going on it.

    Member invitation to a VA show

    Maybe I'll see you there. Going to come down for a day and visit the frolic. Something I would like to start attending but want to get a feel for it first. I was all excited because I thought the show was this weekend and I could go. Guess it helps to check the month part of the date and not...

    My GPR build

    Finally got the new stock. Have decided that FedEx will never get any of my future shipping business but I got the stock. I have several photos here http://www.flickr.com/photos/bgimage I didn't want to attach them all so I just put in the link. The trigger mortice is still right on the edge but...

    Talked with them again today. It has been replaced and will be shipped on Wed. When it gets in I'll get some photos up. I am keeping my fingers crossed.

    My GPR build

    Talked with Lyman today. They recieved the stock on the 29th but no more info than that. The CSR that I sopke with went to ask the guy in charge but he wasn't in and she didn't want to go through his stuff. She said to give a few more days because there was alot of stuff in his area. I'll check...

    My GPR build

    Maybe. Either that or the Christmas rush took priority over QC. Seems that there are a few of us with the same problems at the same time. All kits purchased at around the same time with very similar problems.

    GREAT PLAINS KIT

    Mine came from Buffalo Arms. I am wondering how long it will take to get mine back also. Best of luck to you.

    GREAT PLAINS KIT

    Seems like a few of us have the same problem mine is getting packed up also because the tang mortice is crooked and the trigger guard mortice is also out of place. Mine will have a detailed letter in the box with reference to others with the same type of problems.

    My GPR build

    Just got of the phone with Lyman, this time is was a very nice, happy and pleasent woman that I talked to. She said that I should send just the stock back in with a letter stating the problem and they would take a look and possibly replace. I will pack it up either tonight or tomorrow and send...

    Glad you mentioned that. Last night I decided to call them today and talk with them about it. Between the missing eschuton and the mortices I think that they need to take a hard look at QC. I'll keep everyone posted. And like you I will be asking for wood that is of equal grain.

    My GPR build

    When I set the tang and barrel in together as a unit the tang mortice is not parallel with the barrel channel. To make both of them fit I have to have a gap on the left side (Left if standing at butt looking to muzzle) of where the tang and barrel mate together. This tells me that the rear of...

    My GPR build

    If I enlarge the hole for the tang to fit the mortice then I will have to file the face of the tang where the barrel matches so that the barrel will fit straight in the barrel channel. 1/8" is way to large (I was throwing a number out yesterday) and after thinking about it I think that I am...
