Thanks, but that URL is bogus. Are you sure there's a space in the middle?

Edit: Never mind. Even with the space removed it comes back as a nonexistent page.

It'll work if you don't put the space in and you don't use the capital letters. It's about in-lines though, so it probably isn't worth the effort.

Sorry.....here it is. Yes it is about in-lines. Regardless,...IMHO....if some of the guns someone manufactures are risky,....I don't want any of them. Sorry to start such a %$#@ storm!

Anyway, I wouldn't be overly concerned about Traditions guns blowing up as long as I was using real black powder and I was using the kind of powder loads we tell folks to use on this forum.

I wouldn't either. The CVA that I saw let go was one of those one in a million chance things that happen. I have seen hundreds of them do fine. I have a CVA Mountain Rifle with the same breech system as the Pennsylvainia that has given thirty years of heavy use.

Well Kelhammer, I would have to agree with you, however the man said he wanted something reasonably price for the meantime and he wants to build his own. I would have to vote with Karwelis on that one because we have both built our GPR's from kit and its great practice and an easy build on what I think is the best gun for the money in production guns out there. I have a beautiful custon made .45 rifle costing hundreds of dollars but I will never give up my .54 GPR and I have the GPH barrel to go with it. If you add the GPR57 peep sight by Lyman you're looking at about $650.00 but the rifle kit is around $400.00 somewhere. Pretty good buy! :thumbsup:
