Hi guys,
I have a problem that maybe you guys can help me with. I just got a brand new Lyman GPR and when i put the barrel on the stock it takes a lot of pressure while holding them both together to get the wedge pins even into the gun by tapping them in with a rubber mallet. The main problem is that the front pin goes all the way through but the back pin isn't lining up with the hole on the other side. I am using the longer pin which isn't much longer than the front and it hangs up on the escutcheon on the other side. I tried putting the pins in without the barrel and they seem to line up but not with the barrel.The book says to open the hole on the escutcheon with a file but I wasn't sure if that was the problem.
I took it back to the gun dealer that i got it from and he thinks that the stock needs to be inlet-ed more to seat the barrel on the stock better because i shouldn't have to muscle the pins in. He says that he is going to call customer service to get their advice.
If he has to send the rifle in for warranty work, what is the normal turn around time from Lyman?
thanks for any info you guys can give, HARDCORE
