Hi Gary,

Thanks for the advice. I'll keep it. I had no idea that it might be worth that much. I think I paid about $75 for it.

I thought a Lyman Great Plains would be more than $250. My shooting buddy said they're one of the best of that kind. He didn't like the Traditions. Any thoughts? I notice Cabella's has a few that aren't Traditions.

My gun disassembles by pushing out a pin and removing a screw from the tang. A very simple piece of machinery. I'm going to take it apart this evening and go over the barrel with a magnifying glass. I'll let you know if I find anything.

Incidently, I emailed copies of my bullseye shooting to some friends and now I'm getting people calling who want to go shoot a muzzle loader with me.

Thanks,

Bob
