    Replacing single trigger w/ double set trigger

    I replaced the original trigger on my GPR with a Davis Deerstalker. If you think that an original Lyman GPR double set trigger will be a drop in, PM me your address and I'll send you the one I have. I don't think the Junk Drawer will miss it. :winking:

    TC target trigger

    I put a Davis Deerslayer trigger in my rifle and really like it. Although mine is a Lyman GPR, the same Davis trigger fits both Lyman & TC. I had to do a little more than remove a bit of wood where the mainspring screw sits, but I'm happy with the trigger. If you'd like to read my experience...

    GPR Kit?

    I saw your post on two different threads, and although based on your post and subsequent replies I am not quite certain but I'll give it a try. I built a Flint GPR in .54. The cheapest that I found was Mid South. Mid-South Link The pictures shown online at most vendor

    Lyman GPR-Rice trigger

    Yes I replaced the trigger on my flint GPR with the Davis Deerslayer trigger, and I am happy with it. Before purchasing I searched the archives for other experiences with the Davis Deerslayer replacement triggers, and found a few posts from people saying that they had replaced theirs, but little...

    Lead Melting Question

    Thanks. Although I've never cast bullet or ball, I've caulked quite a few joints.:hmm: Plumbing. Cast iron pipe with lead & oakum. Dave

    Lead Melting Question

    If I may toss another question into the pot :rolleyes: I've never cast ball before and often thought that it would be an enjoyable ancillary activity that I would like to try soon. I have been looking at .530 molds. Is there a difference in ease of use /finicky-ness / quality of pour, between a...

    CALIFORNIA MUZZLELOADER LAWS.....?????

    New York has no restrictions on muzzleloaders. Not even New York City. No registration or permit required. The only wrinkle is with pistols. You can purchase & posses muzzle loading pistols. But if you want to fire them, or have a muzzle loading pistol in your possesion along with the...

    Wood Screws

    If you have a bit of leeway with the length, MBS has #2 x 1/4" PN:16425 @$2.75 for 50 If they have to be 3/8" long, Lyman uses them as the eschutcheon plate screws in the GPR. While assembling my GPR I butchered the slot on a couple of them and had to order replacements. A little bit ridiculous...

    Getting back up to speed

    That's great. Thanks. To recap: roughly a 3" sighting area at 25 & 50, and a 6" area at 100. I didn't want to get used to sighting on something too large, and then one day stepping up to the line at an organized shoot and wonder why the bull suddenly looks so small! :eek: No offhand (standing)...

    Laurel mountain forge

    No... I thought that might have been it the first time I stripped & started over, but subsequent attempts using gentler technique ended in the same result. I even tried not carding & letting the stubborn parts sit for twelve hours between appplications. My gut feeling is that these three peices...

    Laurel mountain forge

    I used Laurel Mountain Forge on my GPR and found that the little bottle is plenty. Even after spilling some, and stripping and redoing several parts there was still a good bit left. I don

    Third outing with my GPR flinter

    Thanks for the responses so far Yes i have been wiping, and no the patches are not wet. Actually I soaked the material in Moosemilk, let them dry, then repeated the soak - dry process before cutting the material into patches. When I used the patches at the range they felt dry with a hint of...

    Third outing with my GPR flinter

    I went to the range yesterday armed with a bottle of Moosemilk and a supply of fresh made Moosemilk treated pillow ticking patches. I also lowered my powder charge to 70gr. 3f., and used .530 roundball. Thanks Stumppy, and all those who responded to my post last week GPR .54 flint experiences &...

    GPR .54 flint experiences & question

    Thank You Stumpkiller and all those that replied. I took a trip to wallmart and picked up some red and white pillow ticking, as well as a cream collored cloth that is a little thicker. I think it was called cotton twill. I also picked up the ingredients for Moosemilk. Done that already. I...

    GPR .54 flint experiences & question

    I have been lurking and diligently reading the forum for many months. I thank all for the wonderful cache of information available here. I recently put together a Lyman .54 GPR in flint. The following are my experiences (long) and question (short). On my first trip to the range, my goals and...
