When i did mine many years ago, I made a humidity box out of cardboard boxes and was just very patient. I recall putting cups of steaming hot water in the box every couple hours. It was very cold that winter and the humidity was naturally low otherwise. Jim

I ordered a Deerslayer trigger for my GPR today. I have never been happy with the original, and I like a good trigger on my target rifles. For $61 delivered, it is a pretty inexpensive option. Hope it is a good as people say. Jim

Where you at in SC? I am about 7 miles north of the border in Gastonia. Jim

I only used the dremel in the barrel channel and very carefully. You definitely want a light touch on it. Thinking and patience are your two most important tools. Jim in NC

Back in 2001 or so, I built my GRP kit and just found my old posts from the old MLML. Probably not much help, but it will be interesting to see what has changed in 15 years. Jim not in NC. Building a Lyman’s Great Plains Rifle Kit - Part 1 Let me begin with a disclaimer ”“ I am NOT an...

Got around to tinkering on this today. The issue was not the adjustment screw, but a small set screw under the trigger mainspring which seems to put upward pressure on this spring. It was backed out a little. I gave it a turn inward and now all is well. A drop of locktite should keep it that...

I usually have both around and a variety of other adhesive choices. JPM

Whats cheaper is that which is already sitting on the workbench, as the low strength loctite already is . . . use it often. JPM

I'll adjust this weekend and apply loctite . . . Will advise if that does not seem to revolve it. JPM

Was out shooting my GPR today, generally went well as normal except that after about 7 - 8 shots my set trigger seems to get more sensitive. Almost like it will go off without touching it. Do you think I just have it set too touchy, or is my 15 year old gun in need of some TLC? I own another...

I use Dutch's moose milk, except with Murphy's Oil Soap in place of the pine-sol he suggests. It is not thick, nice and thin. I keep it in a small squirt bottle for range work, but I am not trying to look old-timey at the range.

Originally from PA, spent 20 years around Ann Arbor (Saline actually), then on to Williamsport PA for a spell . . . now just outside Charlotte. Jim

Asheville is within driving distance, and a fun place to visit. Will look them up. Jim

That link leads to some really awesome information to go over. Thanks for sharing . . . Jim

Is the Crockett rifle an import, maybe from Investarms? It seems to be higher grade than the Hawken style rifles. Jim

Hang in there Dutch, I bought you "system" back in 2002 when I started shooting ML. Learned about you from the old Muzzeloading Mailing List that "Old Fox" ran. I learned so much from your stuff and that list. Keep going best you can, still so many need to learn from you. Jim

One thing I did on my Lyman GPR was to fold up a patch and put some WD-40 on it (just so it would not attract moisture and rust) then put the patch under the barrel half way to the wedge. This put some tension on the whole affair - helped tighten up the group and keep the wedge from...

Howdy everyone . . . just joined this forum. Took a bit of a break from ML related activities for a few years (other than hunting) and time to get back to it. For many years in the late 1990's and early 2000's I was active on the old MLML (Muzzleloading Mailing List). I shoot a Lyman GPR in...
