    Lyman GP 50 cal and RB diameter you use

    Mine works well with a .490 ball and .018 patch. Best part, the combination works great in my other .50 as well.

    Shooting my Pawn Shop Find Lyman GPR in .50

    I ordered the new front from TOTW. I can't wait to get it fitted, and then bench the rifle at 50 yards to see where it's printing.

    Shooting my Pawn Shop Find Lyman GPR in .50

    That's extremely helpful. I'll give it a try. I already have the primitive buckhorn in the rear. Thanks!

    Shooting my Pawn Shop Find Lyman GPR in .50

    About a month ago, I picked up a Lyman GPR from a pawn shop, $150. I ran out of there after buying it, because it was such a good deal. Bore was good after I cleaned it. It was fouled but not rusty. After putting new nipple to it and fitting a set of Davis Deerslayer triggers to it, I took it...

    We were in the same boat.

    Jonathan Browning Mountain rifle new in the box what is it worth

    Until I saw the one on Utah Gun Exchange, I didn't know these existed. They are nice, and a little different from the usual Hawken style rifle.

    What was your first Muzzleloader?

    T/C Renegade kit that my Dad and I assembled. He had been into muzzleloading in the 70s with a H&A Minutenan. By the early 90s when I got old enough he bought the kit for me. He soon bought a Homer Dangler kit for himself, and later one for me. A friend in high school became interested and we...

    Jonathan Browning Mountain rifle new in the box what is it worth

    It's not that unusual. Some builders in Pennsylvania liked to use them, like J.P. Beck.

    Davis Deerslayer in Lyman GPR

    Resurrecting an old thread. I picked up a GPR at a pawn shop the other week. In nice shape. Ordered a set of the Davis Deerslayer triggers. Like Lippy, I had to do quite a bit of filing to get mine to work, but they finally do. Going to a club shoot on Saturday, we will see. Overall, I can...

    Browning in low-humidity environments.

    I recently picked up a nice Lyman GPR at a pawn shop. Given the low price, and relatively good condition of the rifle, I was contemplating stripping the bluing from the metal and browning it. Only issue, is the last time I had anything to do with browning a barrel, I lived in a more humid part...

    Lyman Plains Pistol - My first target shoot

    This is a good report. I picked up one in.50 using some Christmas gift cards from Midway. I have yet to get it out to the range.

    Watching Jeremiah Johnson

    I recally Muzzleblasts or Muzzleloader did a comparison between it and Last of the Mohicans around 1992-92 when both came out. I hadn't been able to find it until recently.

    Watching Jeremiah Johnson

    Blackrobe just showed up on Amazon Prime. I've started watching it.

    Watching Jeremiah Johnson

    The narrator says he got a .30 ( or was it .32?) caliber Hawken. The narrator is speaking in the present tense ("And some folks say, 'He's up there still.'"), and thus using modern bore diameter terminology would be accurate.

    New Vent Hole Liner

    No gap is present in the final product, and when I shot it after the work, and subsequently cleaned it, no fouling worked its way inside. My friend used an end mill to cut down most of the vent hole liner, and then a few passes with a file to make it smooth. It mainly took the browning off...

    Pedersoli Kentucky upgrade.

    What did you use to stirp and brown? The factory front sight on those look comically large. The new front sight looks much better.

    Greetings from Utah

    I live in Sandy. Grew up in Bardstown. Moved to St. Louis for school and stayed there after graduation, 9 years total, then here. You must have been the other half of the trade.

    New Vent Hole Liner

    I thought the members here would appreciate this. I own a Homer Dangler JP Beck style rifle that my father and I built for me back in 1993-94. After I got back into shooting this year, I noticed the vent hole had gotten pretty big. A machinist friend helped me replace the old vent hole liner...

    Greetings from Utah

    Greetings from Utah. I am originally from Kentucky. I became involved in muzzleloading in the early 1990s. My father and I built a pair of Homer Dangler kits. I'm now getting back into shooting after taking a hiatus.
