    My GPR build

    So here is where I am at. I think that I can live with the trigger gaurd mortice as is. It will not be the best looking fit but unless you are looking for it it is not that noticable with the gaurd on. My new problem is that the tang mortice is not centered with the tang screw holes and the...

    My GPR build

    I am with you on wanting to keep this stock becuase of its figure. I'll put the trigger gaurd back on and look at it from all angles and see if I can live with it or not. I like your idea of patching with walnut and then re-inletting. I think that either my father or a friend will have a chunk...

    My GPR build

    First of all I am sorry Mods for posting this in the wrong place. Thank you for moving it for me. Second I looked at the mortice once I got home and the photo shows it true. Now that you brought it to my attention I can't stop worrying about it. What I may do is start at the top of the stock and...

    My GPR build

    I'll check it again when I get home but I think the angle of the photo exaggerates it a bit. Since this will be a working gun I'm not really worried about it. I figure the first few times I fall on my butt in the woods it will take a few good licks anyway.

    My GPR build

    Ghettogun, Yes that is what I am saying. The ramrod channel is only part of my problem though. I can get the ramrod in it just hits a bit. I could not see any marks on the ramrod so it is not sever enough to damage anything I don't think. I think that I also have the problem that marmotslayer is...

    My GPR build

    I will add a few more photos tomorrow. I have a question though. How much downward pressure should it take once the tang is set to get the barrel keys through. Seems to be taking to much on mine and once I put the ram rod back in it is hitting the barrel lugs. I have everything else fitting...

    My GPR build

    I finally got all the parts from Lyman so I am getting started. Don't know how fast I'll move but will keep things updated as I go. Here are just a few getting started photos. I feel like I got a nice piece of Walnut here.

    GPR metal finish

    Thanks for the input. I do like the look of the vinegar but what I am ultimately looking for is a durable finish that can withstand the elements. LMF looks like the clear winner.

    Somewhat satisfied with Lyman

    Thanks for all the comments. It is nice to get feedback from those not invovled, helps to put things into perspective. I am hoping that it was just an isolated incident. Once I get that part I will start working on the kit and keep everyone updated with my progress. Smokin .50 you are right I...

    Somewhat satisfied with Lyman

    I just got my kit for Christmas, 54 cal GPR percussion. Only thing that I can say right now is that Lyman's' Customer Service is one of the worst I have seen. When I opened the box one of the four escutcheons was missing, I did however have 16 screws to put them on. I called the dealer that it...

    GPR metal finish

    I must have been on the nice list as Santa brought me a GPR kit in .54 percussion. I have a question. I am not sure if I want to vinegar etch or LMF brown the barrel and other metal. Does anyone know how difficult it is to "start over" with each finish. What I mean is if I LMF brown and dont...

    hello from Virginia

    Thanks for the welcome. We will have to see if Santa is nice to me or if I have to go get it on my own but the GPR kit will be fun. I can't wiat.

    hello from Virginia

    Just wanted to say howdy from Va. I am looking to get a GPR as soon as I can and started shooting my own. Started out on my fathers T/C Hawken. Would really like to get to some rendezvous one of these days. Spent the past few days not working but sitting at my desk reading this forum. Lots of...
