Lyman 54 cal Great Plains rifle
1-60 twist on barrel
Percussion rifle

This is rifle is one lucky rifle. It had a dead powder charge in it. I had a local blackpowder shop remove the ball, patch and powder. The barrel has a rough spots from 18 inch's from muzzle going back about 8 inch's from what it looks like. Still shoot rounds balls well.

It was from a home on the coast and had little surface rust. Little steel wool and it mostly looks really good.

Triggers and lock are good as expected from a GPR.

Wood is in good condition.

Super fun to shoot and the 32 inch barrel with a long sight radius makes it easy to hit rams at 100 yds.

$400 plus actual shipping.

PM me with email or text for pictures. I have a video that I can send.

First post "I will take" followed by PM

Newer to this forum, but lots a positive feedback in 24 Campfire.
 
Pictures of rifle. More pictures and a video available

Wedgie removed !!!!! Thanks

$370 plus actual shipping.

Located in Oregon.

Give this rifle a new home before

Look up my user name on 24Campfire, lots deals completed and very positive history
 
I am embarrassed that I did not see that, but it didn't appear in the pictures I took 2 weeks ago? Same rifle. Maybe a drier climate in-land verses the coast has it crack?

You are correct, see pictures.

I figure out what do do with it or what an appropriate price is as is

If you have suggestions for fixing? Epoxy? Drill and peg?

Should I treat with oil or glue first?

If someone wants it for $300 plus shipping

Please let me know

I bought a .54 flinter 30yrs ago with the same exact crack. Still there, has never affected anything.


Must be common because I've seen it in others too, at gun shows and such.
 
Howdy! I’m interested in this rifle and I would like to see more pictures if possible. I’m a new member so I’m unable to send private messages yet.

If I purchase this as a newbie what would you recommend be done regarding the rough bore? Or should I just use it and maintain it as normal from now on?

Yes, a very common crack.

If the bore is good this is a steal at $300!

OP is waiting on a bore scope to come in and if the results look good I intend to purchase this rifle. If I do what would you recommend be done regarding the rough bore? Or should I just use it and maintain it as normal from now on? I appreciate your help on my beginner thread the other day.
 
@Dustin.b.1776 Not much that I can say about the bore without seeing it. Shoot and maintain. Evaluate how it shoots and then go from there. Give it a good opportunity to shoot well. Try different patching and patching thicknesses. Read your fired patches and decide based on shooting results if it will be satisfactory for your purposes.

MY GPR had a rough bore. A sub-caliber jag and some pieces of scotchbrite and about twenty minutes going at it and it smoothed out nicely. These are fantastic rifles.
