I wouldn't worry about it Tom. I once told folks the "sky was falling..." They just ignored me... How was I to know it was just low clouds since moving to a higher elevation???  :Doh!

It seems to me that at one time I heard some talk about Pedersoli being interested in a buy out of Investment Arms - but I didn't follow up on it... So you may have heard or read the same thing?  :shake

 A member of my new ML club passed on right about the time I joined,  Duane church aka church mouse.
 The gentleman helping with the widows affairs offered me first choice of Duane's smokepoles and pistols.
  This was my choice, lyman .54 cal.
 Don't know much about pistols, never shot one infact, but I need to learn for rendezvous etc.
 If anyone has words of wisdom on handguns I'd be much obliged.

But, but, but ... where's the flint gonna go??  And where's the powder pan??   :o  ::)  :Doh!  ;D  :shake

You couldn't let that opening pass, could you Kevin?

Kevin, Kevin!  What are we going to do with (or to) you?   :laffing

Lyman was selling a "Signature" version of the GPR which is made by Pedersolli.  What I remember is that the regular GPR would still be available for several hundred dollars less.  However, I just went to the Lyman site to confirm that and when I clicked on muzzleloaders (under firearms) it could not show any products.  Does that mean that Pedersolli bought the ML line, or that their website has a problem?  I don't know....

Okay, I just downloaded the Lyman catalog and they list NO firearms, ML or other, at all!  It sounds like No Powder was right all along.  I still feel slighted that nobody told me :o  My apologies to Mr. N. Powder for getting this whole isue confused!
