Based on all the comments on my earlier topic, (Topic#292431) I decided to start looking for a GPR on GunBroker and ended up winning the auction for a .54 cal percussion Great Plains Rifle. I was a little wary bidding but with the help of fellow forum member Jim Bob from Idaho who actually looked at the rifle for me I went ahead and bid and eventually won the auction.
I want to thank Jim Bob again for all his help, and for him taking time out of his busy day to look at this rifle for me. This rifle was listed by the seller as well cared for and not used or shot much. I checked with Lyman and the rifle was built in 2004. Jim Bob told me that it didn’t look like the rifle had ever been fired and when I got it this afternoon I am sure it never has been or maybe only a few times.
I am super happy with the purchase of this rifle. I got a early Christmas present for myself!
I am looking forward to working up a load and may eventually keep both the T/C Hawken with the Green Mountain drop in barrel and the Lyman great plains rifle as many mentioned I should.
