Lyman GRP Warranty

[Keepontrying]

I've decided to purchase a Lyman GPR .50 flintlock. Got a price that is a lot less than the TC Hawken and can buy a lot of lead with the savings. My Question is what is the warranty with Lyman? Is it lifetime like Thompson? Is Lyman easy to deal with?

Thanks
Ron

My experience with Lyman warranty is poor. They do have a web site you can order parts at a cost, which is pretty good.

Lyman's warranity is like most compay's, one year if defective manufactering. T.C.'s warranty is life time- no questions asked. Which is why T.C.'s cost more. You get what you pay for! That said, I know several people who have owned both T.C.'s and Lyman's and have never had a reason to use the warranty.
