    Into the Wild Frontier.

    We have seen almost all of the Into the Wild Frontier series. The earlier seasons are better. I think they are just grabbing names out of the hat to have subject matter for the newer seasons, but that's just opinion. There is also another series called Frontier (2016) with Jason Mamoa. It is...

    My Pietta 1851 Wedge Story

    If I had not been able to pop it out, my next plan was to use my Dremel to slice off the end of the keep spring and then tap it out. Fortunately, I didn't have to go that far.

    My Pietta 1851 Wedge Story

    My wife got me a Pietta 1851 Navy .36, 7.5 for Christmas. It was bought locally. I was told it was brand new (2021 model actually, that's fine) but it was reduced by $60 compared to the other new ones in the display case. The only blem I saw was on the opposite side of the wedge where someone...

    The Fabulous Wilderness Series by David Thompson!

    I just have to step into this very old thread. My wife's father passed away 2 years ago. He was an avid reader and always talked about how much he enjoyed this western series he was reading. We never paid much attention to the name of the series, but according to her mother he read every one...

    Recently Purchased A Lyman GPR 1979 - A Few Questions

    As you can see here, my gun has two matching serial numbers which I highlighted in yellow. I still have not seen another gun with double numbers. I would love to know what that means as well as whether the gun was sold intact or as a kit. Thanks.

    Recently Purchased A Lyman GPR 1979 - A Few Questions

    Thanks. It's good to know what the "K" might mean. The serial number on mine is 100xxx with no alpha prefix. I am going to keep perusing forums and sites like this one and GunBroker to see how much anecdotal information I can glean. This is my first muzzleloader, and even though I am in my...

    Recently Purchased A Lyman GPR 1979 - A Few Questions

    I recently picked up a Lyman Great Plains Rifle. I know it was made in 1979 from the stamp. I do believe that was the first year of production, but not positive. My gun has two matching serial numbers. One is on the barrel and the other is on the lock. I have seen many GPR photos but not...

    1980 Lyman Great Plains Rifle - Serial Number Question

    1980 Lyman Great Plains Rifle - Serial Number Question

    The plot thickens. When I received the rifle, the stamp was not AF (hard to read). Under a light and magnifier (getting old is tough), it was AE, which means 1979. But I thought the GPR came out in 1980? Now I am confused. Does anyone know the first year of production for Lyman's Great...

    1980 Lyman Great Plains Rifle - Serial Number Question

    Greetings. I recently purchased a Lyman GPR with a maker's stamp of AF, meaning it was made in 1980 if I looked it up correctly. However, the serial number on the gun is 107xxx. I have two questions. First, I have read that Lyman came out with their GPR and began production in 1980. Can...

    Hello From Virginia

    Hello from a new member and new Grandpa! Purchased my first percussion muzzleloader this week, a Lyman Great Plains rifle manufactured in 1980. It's not nearly as old as I am, but I am happy to own it. I am looking forward to getting sound advice from the community as I explore this new hobby...
