New barrel question
« on: January 17, 2011, 07:33:49 PM »
Noobie question:
If I rebarrel my Lyman GPR to convert to flint, is the touchhole predrilled in the barrel or does it have to be drilled to match the lineup with the lock?

A Lyman replacement barrel, ie:  a drop in barrel, will have the vent installed.  It may or may not line up perfectly with the pan.

Art is not an object.  It is the excitement inspired by the object.

Thank you, I was told that in another post too. My question is does a Green Mountain etc. barrel come with the vent drilled and liner?
