Nicely done elimination of the Italianano gibberoso. How did you do it? Just draw filed or peened down then filed?

[Billy Boy]

Used a piece of drill rod 3/8s I think, used it with the same moves you would use draw filing. I seemed to press the raised stuff back in place without the p tracks I would have made with a hammer, then ’draw filed’ with 320 grit wet/dry wrapped around the file. Used Brownells OxphoBlue cold blue.

If you'd have thrown this out there a couple weeks ago I would have jumped on it.
I ended up ordering a new Lymans Trade Rifle. In percussion.

Now had this been a flinter it would be SPF. To me, lol.

Can't believe it's still here.

What is the fly reshaping? I have two of the GPR, both percussion, one .50 and one .54.

It had a very slight hesitation about halfway thru the hammer fall. I blued it and found the interference ( should be some) but it was only in one small spot. I stoned the fly to get ‘flatter’ profile and the hesitation on hamerfall went away. Even a blind pig finds some acorns, excellent ignition after this.

 

[Billy Boy]

Nice work!

Thank you kind sir

What are the two plugs in the breech area for?

Mine does not have those.

If this deal falls through, Would you be interested in a trade? I have a Pre Pandemic, New In Box with all the paperwork, unfired Pedersoli Traditional Hawken Target Rifle. it's a 50cal, & it's not the Cabelas Hawken that Pedersoli makes for them. I've always wanted a Lymen GPR 54cal lol. I live about 40 miles from Devils Lake, so if you're interested in the trade, we could meet up, & you could look the Pedersoli over.
