The discovery of a potential for separation in the breech plug has spurred the recall program.

Lyman® Products has voluntarily announced a product safety warning and recall notice on their black powder rifles and pistols due to the potential of separation in the breech plug.

Lyman regrets the inconvenience but remains committed to the safety of their customers.
