    My New Trade Rifle Arrived Today!

    I held the gun up to my shoulder again tonight, and I like the feel. On the lock side with only a little writing, I like the look. I think it's a keeper. Cowpoke and others, thanks for the tips. It makes it an easier decision to keep it knowing I have a backup plan if I ever get sick of...

    My New Trade Rifle Arrived Today!

    LOL!!! :rotf: I agree it's not the government that makes manufacturers put the disclaimers on everything. It's manufacturer's self defense to our bogus legal system, specifically gutless judges who won't throw out manure cases, and the tremendous leeway lawyers are allowed to use in JURY...

    My New Trade Rifle Arrived Today!

    Newbie - Just ordered a Lyman Trade Rifle

    Good question; I started with the PC guns, such as Enfields, Springfields, Sharps and Hawkens, etc. In my self imposed price ceiling of $700, I either didn't like the offerings (affordable Hawkens are too bright and gawdy for my taste), or didn't want the length and weight of infantry rifles...

    Newbie - Just ordered a Lyman Trade Rifle

    Hi folks! I've been perusing this forum for the past few days, and have gotten quite a bit of good information already. Great group here! Been interested in historic percussion weapons for years, but needed a "hook" to justify the buy. Looked into SAS, but Frontier Class is a marginalized...
