    Might have a ball stuck...

    The GPR...the AWFUL GPR that was cheap.

    I'd like to say I discovered something new...but...every kit gun, rifle, revolver had something that the factory didn't like. Something that would preclude offering it as a finished gun. "Oh God...that's awful...box it up as a kit.:" In my case...it's always been the wrist. There's a...

    The GPR...the AWFUL GPR that was cheap.

    I kept saying, over the last 5 days, that's good enough...and picked up a file, or piece of sandpaper or my little can of BLO and did something else to it. Maybe if there wasn't so much WRONG I wouldn't keep fixing it. But..I think it's pretty much presentable...stockwise...that I took a...

    Lyman Great Plains Rifle Question

    Well...as to the 'warning'. My .54.GPR flinter kit didn't have one. But it was very early in the production...maybe 1978. Sent it to my son last year...I'm getting old...and fragile. I shot it with 120 g 3f...and I was afraid I'd shatter bones. I ended up with the .50 GPR kit...it's a...

    Lyman Great Plains Rifle.

    Friend bought the worst example of a Great Plains kit off the rack at a gunshop. 125 bucks. That was less than three months ago. You hear of someone who wanted a rifle for BP hunting season and did the least amount of work to it and went hunting. This is a prime example of the practice...

    Investarms Gemmer Hawken Kit

    I used aqua fortis for the stain of my Great Plains flinter and heated the stock over a charcoal fire. When the stock was just barely touchable I slathered on the boiled linseed oil and rubbed it in...kept heating the stock when it was cool...took a day to put on 28 coats...used votive candles...

    Help with identifying a lock

    I'm looking at one of them right now...I have no idea what it is.
  20. David Austin

    Lock identify.

    I'm old...and I forget. I thought I posted this but can't find it. I have this never used flint lock. Can't find who made it. It's a little longer than the inlet on my CVA Mountain Rifle...but not as wide. I was sure I took more pictures...but I'm old and hate cellphones. Over the years...
