Lyman Flintlocks

[Walkabout]

Looks like the only Lyman Trade rifles available are flintlocks. Are they worth buying? Thanks

I have one, I really like it. Trigger is not the best, but the rifle is very accurate, and reliable.

I had one in .54 cal, was fun to shoot but put a thumping on the shoulder.

In most folks opinions it would seem the Lymans come in between a Traditions and a T/C. I have several Lymans and have found them to be reliable and accurate. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend one.

Got an early 1990's Lyman Trade Rifle in percussion, shoots good nice gun wouldn't mind having a flintlock version a bit.

I looked again, even the Lyman flintlocks have dried up.

Retracted, missed that it was a trade rifle being discussed....

I agree with trot. The triggers can use some improvement but that is something that can be improved on and would not stop me from buying a gun I otherwise wanted.

I currently have a Great Plains flint lock with mule ear conversion lock for sale in the firearms section. If interested, PM me.

Nothing wrong with a Lyman (Investarms) Trade Rifle. I've got one in .50 perc and one in .54 flint. Also have a Plains pistol in .54 perc.
