LYMAN GPR

[ffg]

Thinking about buying another lyman great plains flint kit, ive built a few through the years,but the urge has hit me again, does anyone know who has the best price on a .54 flint kit now?

probaby buffalo arms

This is the best price I've seen. You need to have it shipped to an FFL dealer, though. http://www.impactguns.com/store/011516611154.html

That kit has been out of stock since April at Impact Guns. I finally canceled my order in July.

PS: they will ship muzzle loading arms to your house.

Hey Mike, I just called them, and they told me about a month wait, is that what they kept telling you.

I recently heard some horror stories about buffalo arms orders. Wrong things shipped, and what you ordered is always on backorder, then comes in at a higher price.

Best price I've found is Midsouth Shooters Supply. They tell you if it's in stock and they ship right away. I've never had a single problem with them.

What BrownBear said. Midsouth are good people!

 

[CaptainKirk]

I just chatted online. They told me around 3 weeks.

 

[CaptainKirk]

Midsouth will not ship to a home or business in Illinois not holding an FFL.

"Midsouth will not ship to a home or business in Illinois not holding an FFL."
That sucks. What is their reason for this?

 

[jerrywh]

Illinois has the most restrictive gun laws. We all know why right??
Vote accordingly

 

[CaptainKirk]

Amen, brother! :thumbsup:

"We have no reason. It's our policy." :rotf:

 

[CaptainKirk]

Thanks for the link, Jerry...I checked out their site....good prices! I have yet to check out whether they kowtow to Illnois' stupid gun restrictions.
"Just Say NO in November!"
Bloody idiots!

ffg, that's the same story they gave me.

Just a reminder.
This is the Gun Builders Bench where we discuss the many facets of building guns.

I urge folks to stick to issues that deal with building please.

I ordered the gpr kit from impact last night and they told me tops a one month wait, just for kicks i called this morning they said 2 to 3 months

Sounds like the 2 Jaeger barrels I ordered in May of 2006 :rotf: :rotf: Must be a slight delay in production.... :grin: but anticipating their arrival any day now......... :grin:


:bull:

 

[CaptainKirk]

So....who do you trust these days? Do you go with one of the better-known companies and spend hundreds more? For me, that's the difference between buying and dreaming.
On the other hand, I've got better things to do with my money than let somebody else hold it hostage for three months.
Even well-known companies like Track Of The Wolf have many of their barrels on "indefinite" back order.
I'm discouraged now. :shake:
