I sure had my work cut out for me this weekend.
Not one, but two gunshows in town at the same time!! :shocking:
All of those shows, and I still have to sit down and Muderate here!!!
Well, the largest show didn't have anything I was interested in, or could afford, so I just bought two bottles of Birchwood Casey Colonial Brown stock stain. (They quit making this about 5 years ago, but I like the red/brown color so if I see some, I buy it).
At the second MUCH smaller show, I thought about you folks!
There it was, a .50 Cal Lyman Precussion GPR with a refinished stock.
The refinishing was very well done with the grain filled and a nice soft satin finish. The rest of the gun was in 99% condition with only one bearly visible scratch across one flat on the barrel.
So I says to myself "I really don't need a .50, but darn, that is nice."
"The price is fair."
"The folks on MLF are always talking about these guns and how well they shoot!"
"I've never owned a GPR."
"The guy says these 200 round balls, two tins of caps, a bore brush, a jag and the nipple wrench are thrown in too."
I owe it to all of those nice people on the forum to buy this so I will have first hand experiance with it!"
" Well, I am the muderator on the Precussion Forum and this is a Precussion gun".
"I'll buy it"
Now, I'll have to go to the range next weekend and work up a good load or two.
Life isn't easy being a Muderator, but someone's got to do it.
PS: I hope you folks can find a nice gun at a fair price at a show in your area too.
