    Drop In GM Barrel Browning

    Thanks Guys. The lock parts and rib are done, and the barrel should be finished this evening. The LMF and the instructions provided here and by several posts made the process unbelieveably easy. The lock parts look like Hershey's chocolate. Gonna be awesome and I'm hoping the GM barrel shoots...

    Drop In GM Barrel Browning

    Thanks for the input. Pretty much have everything ready to go - just might get it knocked out this weekend. Really anxious to see how the L&R lock does compared to the TC lock.

    Drop In GM Barrel Browning

    I am in the process of browning a GM Drop-In .40 barrel for a TC flintlock I built about 30 years ago. Planning to use LMF browning solution and have read over several posts here to get a feel for the process and it doesn't seem too difficult. I do, however, want to get some opinions on a...

    40 caliber load for GM barrel

    I got a tip from Roundball, and got in touch with Cains Outdoor in West Virginia. Apparently, GM is making a run of 40 caliber percussion barrels. These guys must have some pull with GM, because they were going to have them pull one of the barrels and replace the breech plug with a flint...

    40 caliber load for GM barrel

    So far, sounds like 3F - I was thinking I would have to use that. Of course, I only have 2F on hand. Maybe I can find some before the barrel arrives. Thanks for the responses, I'll keep an eye on this to see what the general consensus is.

    40 caliber load for GM barrel

    Expecting to get my .40 GM replacement barrel for TC Hawken flintlock any time now. All I have dealt with up to this point is .45 and .54, and neither is a GM barrel. I would like some pointers on where to start working up a load. Is 2F or 3F best? What ball and patch combinations have some of...

    GPR conversion to flint?

    So it sounds like everything is lining up pretty well. Does the Lyman flint lock require a lot of inletting or just a little? I have replaced a TC flint lock with a L&R, and had to remove a lot of material. I was just wondering if the Lyman flint lock would require less work than the L&R on a...

    GPR conversion to flint?

    Gill, Was the stock originally for a flintlock? I was wondering about converting a percussion GPR to flint, but the Lyman website does not recommend making that change. If it would work out, it would be nice to change back and forth.

    Green Mountain Barrel guestion....

    Now you tell me, I have already ordered my new lock. I got so frustrated with that lock 20 years ago after tinkering with it that I probably haven't shot that rifle in 15 years. Replaced frizzens, frizzen face, shortened the main spring, all kinds of stuff. It got better, but I never was happy...

    Green Mountain Barrel guestion....

    Thanks for the tip. I'll give Ed a try. I have had this rifle since I built it about twenty-odd years ago in high school and I wanted to break it out with a new barrel and a replacement L&R lock. Thanks again.

    Green Mountain Barrel guestion....

    That was my worry too...GM is making me a Flint version of the .40cal but I went with the 33" instead of the 38" for that very reason...even at 15/16", that tiny bore leaves an awful lot of metal... Roundball, I was wanting to get a .40 caliber barrel for my TC, but it didn't appear that they...
