yeah the barrel is blued but this kit is in the white. http://www.midwayusa.com/product/260569/traditions-pioneer-black-powder-pistol-unassembled-kit-45-caliber-percussion-1-in-16-twist-9-5-8-barrel-in-the-white

I am thinking of doing the same thing, i am very interested in the lyman great plains pistol kit in .54 from midsouth shooters supply for $202. here is the link. http://www.midsouthshooterssupply.com/item.asp?sku=000156010611

As far as i can tell the mfg's do not make a full stock flint lock in a lefty. I do not want a half stock hawken type of rifle but more of a full stock poor boy or lancaster or virginia or even a tennesee style. My price range is under $1200.

I am having a heck of a time finding a new lefty flint lock. The closest i can come is the lancaster by tvm. Is there any other custom shops or even mfg's that make a lefty flintlock in the virginia or lancaster style at a decent price? :bull:

My .54 gpr likes 90 grns of goex 2fg behind a prb. If your hawken has a faster twist like 1-48 you might have to use a slightly lower powder charge with a round ball to get accuracy out of it.

Upside= you have a hunting buddy for life Downside= you will have to buy another flintlock lol congrats to the young man.

Exactly what brown bear said, try pyrodex or 777, they will also deteriorate over time but seem to have better consistency. If you can, try to get some real bp, it will last forever as long as you keep it dry.

I bought my gpr from thirdgeneration about 4 months ago and love it. This .54 throws round balls with amazing accuracy at 100 yrds off a rest.(the shooter not so much). I do have to admmit that i did have to do a little work to it though. I had to heat and bend the hammer to get it centered over...

hey semi, why dont you have him e-mail me next time around lol.

First off, welcome and thanks for your service, you have sacrificed time in the outdoors so guys like me could enjoy time in the oudoors. The best of luck on your elk hunt. :hatsoff:

Dont you love perfection!!! nice work.

this is my first year with a sidelock and i have my .54 gpr shooting prb's and 90 gr of 2fg sighted off a rest dead center at 100 yds, i feel comfortable off a rest at 100 yrds. In the area where i hunt there is alot of open spaces so i will be looking at longer shots but have set my personal...

well a brand new barrel from mid south will cost you $220 plus shipping, so as long as the barrel you are looking at is in good condition i would say that is a dang good deal. The gpr comes with 2 barrel twists, the 1/32" twist is for conicals and is on the great plains "hunter". The standard...

I hunt the wind and try not to pass gas. :rotf: :rotf: sorry, couldnt help myself P.S. dont listen to the "experts" on t.v., just buy a good old "Da Yoopers" cd and you will learn all you need to know about hunting lol.

My .54 gpr likes 90 grns of 2fg goex behind a round ball and .018 pillow ticking patches. I might try 3fg goex after i shoot up all my 2fg. If i was you i would just start at 60 grns and work your way up in 5 grain increments to see what load groups the best.

I know, but im sure we all get older sooner than we want to.

For me it would be sitting by an oak tree in the fall in this creek bottom country i have been hunting waiting for that big whitetail. I actually thought about this this past weekend while hunting with my bow. I sat in a oak bottom watching the red sun rise, the leaves turning colors, a...

beautiful rifle, ill trade you straight up for a 2 month old gpr 54 :rotf: . welcome to the forum

I know exactly where you are coming from, i just started this summer with a gpr 54, my wife gets pissed when i tell her i need another pound of goex too, but i think she might want a divorce when i buy a 10lb lot over the internet next week since i cant find anymore around here lol, but just...

i own the gpr .54 with the 1 in 60 twist barrel. The rifle is a great shooter and looks better and is easier on the wallet than the tcs imo. but i have never shot a tc hawken so i cannot comment on their "shootability". I have heard that TC makes a mighty fine lock but the barrels can be fussy.
