Never liked those Italian breech set ups.
Update:
I called today and the lady said it was on the bench now according to the computer, so she put me on hold and went to talk to the guy that had it, came back and said they were going to replace it with a new rifle
Haven’t gotten any tracking info yet
Hopefully next week!
Good to hear you are gonna have a new & also glad to read/hear you were not hurt.!
:)
I hope ya have better luck with the new one!

Great to hear that there is no fooling around or excuses being made.
IN all fairness to Investarms and Lyman, Lyman issued a recall on this very thing! Even Midway/Midsourth (I get alerts/ads from both) sent out a "head's up" on it.. it was on SN#s between A 595960 -- A599026 that they issued a voluntary recall!
I guess then we all owe you a double thanks for helping to identify the issue. Unlike some, I love the previously well made Investarms guns... I LIKE hooked breech for their ease of cleaning and such... Mine is a A593 series so I dodged the bullet and haven't yet wrung out what it can do... I too am jonzin for good weather to get back to testing patch thickness and charge for accuracy and EASE of loading...I do NOT want to EVER have to pound a ball down the bbl...
Only trouble I have so far is that my eyesight is not so good with iron sights anymore... Bought the Lyman peep for the GPR...
Yep recalled the whole series of them, glad you let them know and they will fix the problem.
I had a flint lock GPR on order just prior to the recall. I'm to get my charge card refunded and they don't know how long it will take. TOTW let me know today (Wednesday 21 Feb 2018) I hope this is remedied soon.

midsouth told my friend its going to be 2+ months for replacement barrels to arrive.
issues aside,the surprising thing about this fail is that the wood stock has held the barrel and broken plug together against the force of explosion.
So, you are the reason for the Lyman re-call! Glad you weren't hurt. They will make it right.
