Who had that post about Lyman kits for sale cheap?

I can't remember who had that post about Lyman kits being on sale somewhere. I thought about getting one, replacing the lock, and seeing what I could come up with from the kit, and building someone a good rifle for cheap.

Here is the link to the seller, but the price has gone up and it says out of stock.

IMO, the new Lyman kits are pure junk. A friend bought one six months ago, and with the time it took  replacing the breech plug ( factory defect), and the cost of replacing the lock, and then refinishing the breech plug, and barrel, and lock, it was not even close to a good deal.
