Lyman Remington Replica?
« on: July 04, 2007, 03:56:07 AM »
I was offered one second hand for $160. Well cared for and solid looking. It's Italian, but Lyman is a quality trademark name.
Sound like a good deal for cap and ball? I'm getting back into b/p after a 40-year hiatus.

BTW, Tried to search but "Lyman" brings up a zillion hits!

I don't know how old your prospective pistol is, but I had a Lyman some 30 years ago.  It was just fine.  It wasn't a true copy of the Remington however.  It was smaller in dimension, closer to the Remington-Beals in the grip frame.  Sort of a hybrid.
