    Lyman Great Plains Rifle

    I have had a .54 GPR flint for a couple of years. Wonderful rifle. Reliable and a straight shooter. Just be sure you clean it real good, twice, before you start shooting. I used modern chemicals for the first cleanings to rid the factory protection. Then use the hot water/butter from then on...

    flintlock shooting tips?

    My GPR shot well out of the box also. I do think it has got better with time. This could be cause by human input though.

    ATV, do you ride?

    Guess I'll tell you my reasons for this thread. I feel that American's might be getting too soft. With the lack of exercise you might not have the strength to pull back your hammer. You'll have to come up with a tool, like the cross bows have to cock their weapon. Good hunt'n areas should be...

    ATV, do you ride?

    I see so many hunters carrying around ATV's on their trailers or in the back of their pickup trucks. Do you ride an ATV on a Black Powder hunt?

    Patent Breech

    Thanks everyone, I now have a very good understanding what is there. Yes, I'm sure that is an amateur drawing, as the threads do not match and are of a too sharp of an angle. :thanks:

    Patent Breech

    Would some one please leave me a diagram or drawing of the inside of a patent breech? I want to understand what I'm trying to clean out after shooting. Thank you for the help.

    GPR .54 flint experiences & question

    I have been shooting my GPR .54 Flint, for just a short time now. I have found the barrel needs a lot of cleaning to begin with. Hoppie's did the trick. Soak it, Soak it, Soak it. I'm switch to natural later. I changed the adjustable rear sight to the fixed one. Ended up filing the front down...

    leather punch

    Yeah, there are many ways to punch a hole in a piece of leather. But, I just recently found out the leather shops sell hole punches, multiple hole punches, with one strike of the hammer. I bought two of the four hole punches, different sizes. Are they ever nice for getting the other holes...

    GPR .54 Flinter

    OK, I ordered the L&R Lock. Now, what do I do with the Lyman Flintlock? It has been shot about 30 times. Does it have any value? Where can I sell it at, besides eBay? ::

    GPR .54 Flinter

    The 7/8" flints did not work. I could not close the frizzen all the way. It did hit the upper 3/4 of the frizzen though. Guess it's a L&R lock. $125.00 damn......

    correct powder load for .54 GPR

    I have a new GPR, with about 25 shots now. I'm getting good accuracy with the 60g loads, even out at 100 yards. Taking your advice I have cleaned more and more with Hoppies until I'm sure the factory protection is removed. Seems to load easier now too. I was having "hang ups" ( pushing the...

    GPR .54 Flinter

    That ^ is just the question I was going to ask. If I bought the L&R would I get great results. Thanks for all the help.

    GPR .54 Flinter

    So the GPR flintlock is at fault. Now the question is how to fix the problem. Does anyone have an idea to which brand/model of lock that would fit a GPR, without alteration? In he mean time I'm waiting for my 7/8" flints. I'll let you know how they work.

    GPR .54 Flinter

    I'm having the same problems with my GPR flints. Rock crusher...and 2/3 the way down. I have ordered some new flints, 7/8 X 3/4. (Rather than 3/4 square.) We'll see how that works. :hmm:
