I bought Investarm/Lyman Plains Pistol cal .45. It is a nice piece and I just love it. But (there is always a but!!!! ). Hammer head is off the centre of the nipple muzzle. Hmmm. See picture Plains: Pistol.45_2a.jpg. Is that bad enough to send her back?
The other discrepancy is that the rifle bore is NOT all the way down to the nipple muzzle. See the picture: PlainsPistol45_0007b. Ramrod shows the way of the bore and the thinner rod show the smaller bore down to the nipple muzzle. Is this normal with the muzzleloaders? Or only Investarm/Lyman has this?? What if I will use light load and there will be empty space between the ball and the powder? Shall I use filler?
Any experience with this nice pistol is welcome!
