My interest has changed and I want a flinter. So I will try to sell my small siler percussion lock and bolster and get a flintlock. I am sure mine is a Siler produced lock because I bought it in 1998. It has been stored in oil ever since.

Many years ago I bought all the parts necessary to build a percussion Tennessee long rifle. Well part of these purchases was a Small Siler percussion lock. I am probably finally get going but I would rather child a fainter. Is the small siler flint dimensionly the the same as the percussion...

Well fellow "Future Dry Ballers" I got my zerk fittings from McMaster Carr in 303 stainless . Fit just right as expected . The threaded part of the body is a little longer than the Lyman nipple I am using but it should work. Now what else can I worry about!

Regarding the group you shot my first groups from my new barrel for my 54 cal GPR looked about like that . At 50 yards I was expecting about a 2" group. I am at about 50 rounds now and the 10 shot groups tightened up to about 2" with 1 or 2 flyers . The flyers may be me cause I haven't been out...

Just an FYI I have a range rod that I think is steel that I got from TOW. Also my gun has only had about 50 rounds through it and I can load two shots without cleaning but I have had the ball stuck midway down the barrel once. I put a little CVA bore blaster down the barrel and let it soak for...

Just so you know I would probably try the powder thing first but since I never have any luck I figured I would be prepared . I also figured anything with 6mmx.75 treads would probably not be readily available at the auto parts store on Sunday morning ( the worst time of the week cause that is...

Well I was thinking about how I was gonna get a ball out of my GPR if I ever "dry Ball" one and I did a search on this site. I did this cause I am a "Be Prepared" kind of guy. So after an hour of reading I ordered a few 6mmx.75 zerk fittings because I have decided to go with grease gun method. I...

Getting older and I am having trouble seeing my front sight. Have any of you painted your front sight and what kind of paint did you use. Also what color. The Jambuster

I was intimidated too. I can only say that Pyrodex was a %$tch to clean and BP COMES right out . That alone is worth the drive.

I would try to get Black Powder. The substitutes are more corrosive and more difficult to clean. I use soap and water but I have used CVA's solvent and both work in my Lyman GPR just fine. I was in your shoes a couple of years ago and just went out and tried some different techniques I had...

I really started this Thread because I have a GPR 54 that I enjoy and it was the most reasonable gun that looked like what it was supposed to be that I could afford at the time I bought it. I am just hoping that LYMAN maintains product line so new guys can get into the hobby and afford it. Also...

I read here a couple of months ago that Lyman was going to stop using Investarms to manufacture the GPR . I was wondering if there is any news on this because I would like to get a GPR Flinter Kit when they become available. My current GPR percussion gun is very reliable but I am going to do a...

Fellow "Front Stuffers" I went shootin a couple of weeks ago and when I got through I decided to try foaming "Wipe Out" ( the standard formula not the black powder formula) to clean the trusty LYMAN GPR . Well as I understand it this is a citrus based cleaner . This is the best thing I have used...

I have a Percussion GPR that is 3 years old that I have only shot a few times. This gun is functional and shoots OK . It probably isn't broken in yet and seems to do a little better every outing . So either I am getting better or the barrel is wearing in as it should. Well I have the urge to...

Great job!!!!

I have been shooting Graff fffg in my 54 cal Lyman GPR with good results. I also have a pound of Goex but I have not tried it.

I have a Lyman GPR. TOW has two lengths of range rod 44" and 36". I also have a Tenn. Long Rifle Kit/parts with a 42" barrel. Although the 44 is a little long for the GPR I was going to go with that . Anybody have any thoughts

All this talk got me wound up to shoot. This is only the second time out for my GPR 54 and the first time I tried some different powder charges . Started at 90 grs of Graff FFFg ,TC pre-lubed patches .015", Speer .535 balls , CVA Hot-Flash caps (which I believe are CCI - I bought 500 of these at...

I bought one of the factory built percussion GPR's from Mid-south Shooters Supply 3 years ago. It was one of the ones involved in the barrel recall. Mechanically , it is a good gun and shoots well. Cosmetically , it is not near as nice as older guns I saw prior to buying this one . However it...
